Bloemfontein, South Africa – As COSAFA Cup dey shine light for this side, South Africa and Zimbabwe dey ready to face each other for the pitch on June 7, 2025. Na local stars dey hold the fort for both teams, and e no be surprise if dem end am like zero-zero. (Make we just do uma style and pocket our predictions, abi?)
Dis competition no be FIFA-approved, but e dey give chance for the juniors to show wetin dem fit do and maybe catch senior selectors’ eyes. Last-last, na scouting tournament for the region. But no be say South Africa dey slack; them don already take one loss from Mozambique for the first match. (E no sweet, I no go lie!)
For Zimbabwe, dem start with one point after dem manage draw against Mauritius. So, everybody dey look as both teams go meet for Dr. Petrus Molemela Stadium. Na only the first team for group fit waka go semi-finals o. So, dem need to grab three points sharp-sharp!
South Africa lineup go dey include players like Mbanjwa, Dithejane, McCarthy, and more. Zimbabwe go feature Mapisa, Kaseke, Mbeba, and others. E go gree be show of local talents dem, and e no too dey far from wahala as low-scoring matches don dey common for African football.
Last last, e no clear if dem go fit score gollop gollop, as di opening fixtures just produce one goal put together. South Africa recently japa enter 2025 African Nations Championship (CHAN). As dem dey face Zimbabwe, dem go need to step up to avoid the shaku-shaku loss again. E fit be say dem go try play safe as na dem begin dem competition with loss.
For Zimbabwe, dem soft for attacking lines too. Dem dey come from a winless run of seven internationals, wey include three losses and four draws. (Chai! This one tough, no be small!) If dem no take am easy, e fit turn to a shaky draw or one side go just manage carry the day.
Based on past meetings, na only one tie don happen in dem last five matches. Wetin you go expect for Saturday e be say either make dem lock up or one team go just ginger wan score. If South Africa wan show say dem fit recover from di loss, dem go need to shift gear. But Zimbabwe fit do am if dem de bold enough.
So, as dem dey ready jump ball for COSAFA, na true sharpness dem go need to shine. Whether na deadlock or someone go collect three points, wey we go sabi after dem match. Na football, anything fit happen!
