June 11, 2025

On Friday, June 13, 2025, South Africa v Comoros kicks off at the Free State Stadium in Bloemfontein for the semi-final of the 2025 COSAFA Cup. Fans across Europe can tune in at 18:00 CEST (Italy, Germany, France, Spain) and 17:00 BST (UK), as Bafana Bafana aim to secure a place in the final on home soil.

South Africa topped Group A with four points from three matches, edging out Zimbabwe and Mozambique on goal difference. Comoros, making a surprise run, will be underdogs but arrive full of confidence after a resilient group stage showing.

How are both teams coming into this?

South Africa have been solid throughout the tournament, conceding just one goal in three matches. Bafana Bafana showcased their attacking prowess with seven goals scored, highlighting their depth and cohesion under pressure. Their only slip-up was a hard-fought draw, but they responded strongly to finish top of their group.

Comoros, meanwhile, quietly impressed by navigating a tricky group that included more fancied sides. They meanwhile relied on a well-organized defense and swift counterattacks to collect enough points for a semi-final berth. Confidence is high in the Comorian camp, as they look to pull off an upset against the regional heavyweights.

Our forecast

We expect South Africa to maintain their high standards and control possession, especially in the midfield. Their dynamic wing play could create numerous chances, and we forecast them to edge this tie. Backing a home win feels solid given their form and the backing of local supporters.

However, Comoros should not be underestimated. They have already demonstrated a knack for scoring against stronger opponents. A both teams to score bet could pay off, as Bafana’s attacking intent may leave gaps at the back for the visitors to exploit.
