The Bafana Bafana, on their part, overcame Comoros to secure this berth. In case you are looking to bet on this match, below we have the preview and at least two predictions to guide you.
At the close of the 2025 edition of this tournament, Angola would have had nine finishes inside the last four, and South Africa 11. Between these two nations, there are nine COSAFA Cup titles.

Angola - South Africa: Form Analysis
Angola’s title defence at the COSAFA Cup 2025 has so far been assuring. Apart from their opening day 1-1 draw with Namibia in the repeat of last year’s final, they haven't looked shaky.
After that draw, the defending champions strung together really powerful performances, beating Lesotho and Malawi to top Group B.
In their semi-final assignment against Madagascar, Angola was back to their ruthless ways, thrashing the islanders 4-1. With three straight wins, they will go into the final as favorites, despite the fact they are facing the hosts.
The Palancas Negras have a five-match unbeaten run against South Africa.
Angola last lost against South Africa 10 years ago.
South Africa had a slow start to the competition and had at times relied on other results as they slowly grew into the competition. The host nation opened their campaign in the worst possible way, losing 1-0 to Mozambique.
In impressive fashion, South Africa recovered on matchday two to beat Zimbabwe 2-0. They then confirmed topping Group A with four points after drawing with Mauritius in the third game.
Finishing top was, however, aided by Zimbabwe beating Mozambique 3-1 their final group game which left the Mambas with a -1 goal difference. Bafana Bafana then rose to the ocassion, making no mistake in the semi-final by putting Comoros to the sword in a dominant 3-1 win.

Angola & South Africa Squad Analysis
Angola’s dangerman Depu was on the mark again in the semi-finals, scoring a brace to help Angola through with a 4-1 win. With those two goals, the striker will go down in history as one of the brightest sparks in COSAFA.
At the moment, he is the all-time leading scorer in the COSAFA Cup, with 11 goals. Depu bagged the top scorer’s gong last year with five goals, and this time he is already on six. Only one other player has scored six times in a single COSAFA Cup tournament – Zimbabwe’s Ovidy Karuru.
South Africa's major headache is how to bring out the attacking creativity
Bafana Bafana’s main concern coming into the knockouts was the lack of goals. In three group stage matches, they had only two goals and one of the men relied upon in attack is Boitumelo Radiopane.
Things changed in the semis, with the host nation scoring three. The Orlando Pirates forward showed great coordination with Gape Moralo in that semi-final win, and South Africa will be hoping for more of that. Moralo actually had two assists against Comoros and facing the cup holders, Bafana will do with more of that creativity.
Angola - South Africa Key Points
- South Africa are winless in their last five matches against Angola
- In the last 10 COSAFA Cup matches, South Africa managed just four wins.
- Angola are coming into the final with three straight wins.
- In their last 10 COSAFA Cup matches, Angola are unbeaten, winning eight.

Our Angola vs South Africa Prediction
South Africa are playing at home and are bound to benefit from the crowd support when they entertain Angola in the final. The deafening support or opposition, however, hasn’t gotten to Angola so far. They’ve been able to shut out the noises and have done well on the pitch.
As the most consistent team not just in this year’s edition but across the last two seasons, the Palancas Negras come here as favorites. South Africa have been shaky and with their problems in attack, could get rattled by this Angolan side. Our prediction for Angola v South Africa is that Angola wins the match.
Angola vs South Africa - Other Interesting Predictions
Over 2.5 goals
Both Angola and South Africa scored highly in the semis, and we are backing them to carry this run to the championship match. Whereas Angola have been in that scoring shape all through, it was a surprise for South Africa, who had managed just two in the group stage. As we expect both teams to go all out, our second prediction is for over 2.5 goals.
