South Africa will look to get back to winning ways as they host Tanzania in a friendly at Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane. This match between Bafana Bafana and the Taifa Stars on Friday comes with our prediction of under 2.5 goals.
The hosts are coming off a 1-0 loss in a friendly to Mozambique on Wednesday at this venue. This is, in no way, a reflection of their impressive performance in the FIFA World Cup qualifiers. South Africa are top of Group C in the qualifiers, where they are well-placed to qualify after six rounds.
Four wins out of their last six matches in all competitions suggest Bafana Bafana have a lot to play for and improve their form. With their last five matches seeing only one side scoring, this is likely to be another low-scoring match.
Tanzania have a greater need to improve their recent form, as they arrive here after suffering four consecutive losses. Each of those saw the visitors fail to score, and that highlights their struggles. Despite such poor recent results, Tanzania are second in Group E of the World Cup qualifiers and still in with a chance to qualify for the second round.
A win could still be out of their reach, as Tanzania could win just two of their last ten matches in all competitions including friendlies.

Our South Africa vs Tanzania Prediction
South Africa are looking at their friendlies with a view of refreshing the national team for the future. The team that won the last two World Cup qualifiers with a clean sheet won’t be the same to take the field here, but they are likely to be defensively strong. They picked up four clean sheets in their last five competitive matches, and that could put Tanzania under pressure to get off the mark. That’s why our South Africa vs Tanzania prediction is under 2.5.
