Zimbabwe vs South Africa Prediction & Betting Tips - World Cup

 by Nella Wagah | in World Cup Predictions

Zimbabwe haven’t had much going their way, but will be hoping to start strongly at home when they meet South Africa in the Group G 2022 World Cup qualifier. The hosts are winless in five matches, and in the last 12 they’ve managed just one win and seven losses. In four of their last five matches they’ve conceded twice and have just one clean sheet in the process. Zimbabwe finished bottom of their group at the COSAFA Cup recently, with just two points from four matches. They go into a serious phase now and will hope the lessons have sunk in. Their last four meetings with South Africa were all friendly matches, the last two of which they won, and will be looking to replicate. Their run in World Cup qualifiers is however poor, with just two wins in 15. The wins came against lowly Somalia and Namibia. In their last five matches in this competition, both sides have scored in three, with Zimbabwe scoring two or more in two of the five.

While Zimbabwe failed to make it past the group stages at the COSAFA Cup, South Africa went all the way to win it. They go to this game unbeaten in their last seven matches, with six clean sheets, and just one draw. South Africa have lost just one of their last 11 matches but just like Zimbabwe, they’ll be looking at a better showing in World Cup qualifiers, where they have one win in five. They lost the other four. South Africa haven’t been the best defensively in their World Cup qualification matches; they have no clean sheet in five and in four of them, they’ve conceded at least two goals. Away from home, the visitors have lost three of five qualification games, kept no clean sheet in the five and both teams scored in all. Head to head, South Africa have three wins and Zimbabwe two in the last five meetings, with both sides scoring in four. The only clean sheet in that run was kept by South Africa in a 3-0 win back in 2010. The last time these two met was in a 2013 friendly match.

Our Zimbabwe vs South Africa Prediction

South Africa will go to this game feeling like the favorites after their triumph in the COSAFA Cup, and on the backdrop of a poor show from Zimbabwe. That may come to pass in the game but a more promising pick here is in the goals market. Both teams haven’t done well in World Cup qualifiers and each will be going for a good start. Both teams scoring has been a common feature in their matches so we can back the same here.
