South Africa vs Namibia Predictions and Top Betting Tips

South Africa vs Namibia should be a pre-decided contest but we still have certain expectations. Here are our predictions.

Total Goals Prediction: Over 2.5 Goals

We definitely expect more action from these two teams than in the previous game between them, which was actually a couple of months ago. They met for an official game in the COSAFA Cup and Namibia surprised us with a strong performance. South Africa definitely can show more than they did and we expect this to be a different game, even though it is a friendly match.

Match Result Prediction: South Africa to Win

South Africa failed to beat Namibia in the previous game between these teams but this time, we think that they will play a different game. There is an obvious difference in class between these national teams and South Africa are significantly stronger, more active, and more experienced. We think that this will still be a good game with goals on both ends, but SA have to win it.

Correct Score Prediction: 2-1 to South Africa

The last fixture between them was very close and very competitive. We had goals on both ends and we expect the same here, even with it being a friendly match. When we compare the South Africa vs Namibia line ups, however, there should be a huge difference in strength between the two teams. South Africa are ranked much higher and they have had a lot more success in recent years.

South Africa vs Namibia Team Previews

South Africa Preview

South Africa have always been one of the strongest national teams on the African continent and right now, they seem to be in a very solid shape. They did not qualify for the World Cup, true, but there is always another tournament and right now, they look incredible. They have a single defeat in the last ten matches they played. The main problem for the team has been the defense. They win most matches but they concede goals almost every game – in nine out of ten, for example.

Namibia Preview

Namibia are a significantly weaker team on paper but they have been improving. They have a good generation when it comes to attacking players and they have been scoring a lot more goals. They put up a serious fight the last time they faced South Africa and it was an official match. We do not think they will be as lucky this time and we expect more from their opponents.
