South Africa vs Angola: Preview

South Africa head into the tournament unbeaten in ten matches after enjoying a superb qualifying campaign.

Now led in the dugout by Hugo Broos, the 73-year-old has enjoyed a solid career as a manager, with his most notable success helping Cameroon win AFCON back in 2017.

Captain and goalkeeper Ronwen Williams will lead the team in Morocco, with Burnley star Lyle Foster and QPR hotshot Tylon Smith among their ranks.

Angola's run to the quarter-finals was eventually ended by Nigeria back in 2023, as Ademola Lookman's goal was the only difference between the two sides.

Patrice Beaumelle's are something of an underdog and flew through qualifying without defeat.

They were also the last side to beat South Africa in a competitive game back in June this year, so the bragging rights are firmly with them.

Experienced midfielder Fredy will lead the side, whilst on-loan Burnley man Manuel Benson could be a tricky customer.

FourFourTwo's prediction

South Africa 0-2 Angola

Angola have gone well over the last 12 months and were good value for their win over South Africa in June. We are predicting them to emerge as winners in Marrakech.
