South Africa vs Tanzania prediction

Under the management of Belgian coach Hugo Broos, South Africa have an excellent chance to qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup next summer, sitting five points clear of Rwanda and Nigeria with four games to go in Group C of African qualification for the tournament. They most recently comfortably defeated Benin by two goals to nil a couple of months ago.

They now face a Tanzania side that most recently suffered a 2-0 loss to a very strong Morocco side in Morocco a couple of months ago due to second-half goals scored by Nayef Ageurd and Brahim Diaz. The Tanzanians have now suffered four successive defeats in games whereby they have actually played, having been awarded a victory against The Congo in March.

South Africa have a lot of control and they are often extremely difficult to score against, so a Bafana Bafana victory, albeit likely in low-scoring circumstances is to be expected for this one.

South Africa vs Tanzania tip: South Africa to win to nil
