BackpageBeing the first game for either team in this edition, it will be vital to start on a positive note.
In the head-to-head record, the two sides played to a 1-1 draw in the 2024 edition after once again being grouped together.
But it was Os Mambas who made it to the next phase, thanks to a better goal difference after the two nations had managed an identical record of a win and two draws.
In the last six Cosafa meetings, South Africa have managed three wins, two draws, and a loss.
