South Africa vs Tunisia Prediction & Match Preview

South Africa’s emphasis will now move onto the third of their group E encounter, which is expected to take place against Tunisia at Amadou Gon Coulibaly Stadium.

South Africa, courtesy of a brace from Themba Zwane, defeated Namibia 4-0 on the second matchday of the group stage. Hugo Broos’s men are now on three points and have the opportunity to seal a spot in the knockout rounds with a victory here against the team that currently sits at the bottom of the group.

Adding to their recent outstanding performance against Namibia, the Bafana Bafana have only suffered defeats twice in ten matches since July 2023.

Their opponents, Tunisia, on the other hand, after a poor performance against Namibia to open their group stage, were held to a 1-1 draw by Mali.

Tunisia would have to win if they’re looking for any chance of progression to the next round. However, Jalel Kadri’s team would still be optimistic about making it through, although after a number of strong performances prior to the competition, they have now gone winless in the two group matches.

Recent Meetings

South Africa vs Tunisia Prediction

Tunisia are seen as the favourites by the bookies, although their recent performances haven’t been encouraging. In contrast, South Africa’s recent win did make a greater impact. We thus chose the 1.66 odds provided for South Africa to avoid defeat.

Similarly, the under 2.5 goals option could be a safe option here. Given that eight of South Africa’s last ten matches have concluded with under 2.5 goals to go alongside their six clean sheets, Additionally, Tunisia has only managed one goal in their two group games. While brave punters can also wager on the game to conclude with a 1-1 final score at 6.00 odds.
