Angola will take on Namibia at Stade de la Paix on Saturday, as the knockout stage of the2023 Africa Cup of Nations gets underway this weekend.
The Black Sable Antelopes ranked 117 in the latest FIFA rankings, have massively exceeded expectations and already achieved history at AFCON 2023 by reaching the knockout rounds for the first time in their history.
And they did so in style, winning two of their three group matches, and finishing top in a group containing African giants like Algeria, Mauritania and Burkina Faso.
Namibia, meanwhile, haven't been fully convincing at AFCON so far. Collin Benjamin's side stunned Tunisia to win their group E opener, before failing to score against South Africa and Mali as they qualified as one of the four best third-placed finishers with four points.

Namibia made several changes following a hefty 4-0 defeat to South Africa as they drew with Mali to reach the knockouts. Striker Peter Shalulile bagged four goals in the AFCON qualification round, but Namibia's skipper has yet to open his account at the finals against superior opponents.
Benjamin is unlikely to change tactics against Angola, with the Brave Warriors manager set to stick with his usual 4-1-4-1 formation in Saturday's game.
