Cape Verde vs South Africa Prediction & Betting Tips (3 February)

Cape Verde wants to continue to make waves in the African context and the truth is that it has everything it needs to reach the CAN semi-finals to be played in Côte d'Ivoire. Although South Africa, their opponents in the quarter-finals, left the powerful Morocco team on the way, the Blue Sharks are in an excellent moment, showing themselves to be very solid.

The match is scheduled for this Saturday, at 8pm, at the Charles Konan Banny Stadium, in the city of Yamoussoukro.

Like many nations in this CAN, the best player in his team, Bebe (Rayo Vallecano, 1 goal) is not 100% able to help his team. He should still hold his place despite minor pain. The huge positive point for this selection is its diversity in the goalscoring department, no player has scored more than two goals in the competition but Benchimol (Benfica), without forgetting Kevin Lenini (Krasnodar), Monteiro (MLS) and Bryan Teixeira (Sturm Graz) have planted their little pawn in this CAN. Ryan Mendes is the top scorer in his group with 2 goals, including the qualifying goal against Mauritania.

Note also the presence of Garry Rodrigues (Akaragücü, 8 goals in 51 caps) and the residents of France, Costa (Toulouse) and Tavares (Bastia, 20 sel). Former Rennais Steven Moreira starts at right back.
