Angola and Namibia are two of the pleasant surprises in the knockout phase of the Africa Cup of Nations tournament. Interestingly, the two teams are almost neighbours in the FIFA rankings. The favourite in today’s encounter Angola is in 117th position, while underdog Namibia is two places ahead. With their good performance so far, however, the symbolic hosts have the edge in the battle for the quarter-finals, as they last played in 2010 in their home fixture.
Angola vs Namibia Prediction
The duels of this rivalry are twelve in number, with Angola never losing and winning in exactly 50% of them. Today, I expect the team’s good run to continue, having done impressively in the group stage. Namibia definitely served up a sensation against Tunisia, but clearly the Tunisians were far from the level they wanted to be at in this tournament. Angola showed good defense and great efficiency in attack, which I think will be enough to win in regular time.
