Cape Verde vs South Africa Predictions
This match could be very tight and cagey. Neither side usually sees both teams on target in their matches. I’m backing extra time to be needed after a draw in regulation time.

Head to Head
These sides sit at 2-2 across five previous meetings with one draw.
Cape Verde won 2-1 both home and away when the sides met in World Cup qualifying in 2017.
Cape Verde Form
Cape Verde has lost just once in seven matches, a 2-0 friendly defeat to Tunisia before the AFCON.
Their form in this tournament is outstanding. They scored in 91st minute to beat Ghana 2-1 and then cruised to a 3-0 victory over Mozambique. A 2-2 draw against Egypt saw an equaliser scored in the 99th minute.
In the round of 16, they withstood some pressure to beat Mauritania 1-0. Record goalscorer Ryan Mendes netted the winner in 88th minute from the penalty spot.
Cape Verde Injuries & Team News
Cabo Verde have a very settled team in this tournament. Winger Garry Rodrigues will remain on the bench despite his winner against Ghana.
Veteran striker Bebe will play in attack with Ryan Mendes alongside him.

South Africa Form
Bafana Bafana have kept three clean sheets to reach the quarter-finals. They were knocked out at this stage in 2019.
They went into the tournament with blanks fired in a 2-0 loss in Rwanda and a 0-0 draw in a friendly vs Lesotho. After losing 2-0 to Mali, they thumped Namibia 4-0 to put one foot in the knockout stage.
After a 0-0 draw vs Tunisia to guarantee progression, they shocked Morocco last time out. A 2-0 win saw their opponents miss a second half penalty.
