South Africa vs Eswatini Predictions
South Africa have a great record against these opponents and they’re in good form. I can only see a home win. I’m backing Bafana to keep a clean sheet and to win by a one-goal margin again.
- South Africa have won 6 of their last 9 matches.
- South Africa have kept clean sheets in their last 3 matches.
- South Africa’s last 7 wins have come by one-goal margins.
- Eswatini have lost 4 of their last 6 matches.
- Eswatini have failed to score in 5 of their last 7 matches.
Head to Head
South Africa hold a 5-0 advantage over Eswatini with one draw in six matches.
They last faced off in July in the COSAFA Cup as South Africa won 2-1.
South Africa Form
Bafana Bafana have lost just once in 14 matches. They qualified for next year’s AFCON and finished third in the COSAFA Cup.
A 2-1 win in Liberia sealed AFCON qualification before beating Morocco 2-1 at home in a dead rubber. The COSAFA Cup followed with a shadow squad and a different coach as Bafana finished third.
In August, the side played two friendlies. A 0-0 home draw with Namibia preceded a 1-0 home win over Congo DR.

Coach Hugo Broos has seen forwards Percy Tau and Monnapule Saleng withdraw from the squad. Paseko Mako has received his first call-up at left back.

Their last match was in August 2023. They completed their AFCON qualifiers with a credible 0-0 draw vs Burkina Faso in a match played in Morocco.
