  • South Africa have no injury or suspension issues and should go with their strongest XI.

Head to Head Stats

Prediction

  • A late penalty from captain Ryan Mendes ensured Cape Verde would reach the quarter-final stage of an Africa Cup of Nations for the second time in their four-tournament history.
  • The Blue Sharks have won three of their four matches at this year's tournament.
  • South Africa, meanwhile, pulled off the shock of the round when they knocked out competition favourites Morocco, with a 2-0 win.
  • Cape Verde have won the last two competitive meetings between these sides, both by a scoreline of 2-1. However, the most recent of those meetings was seven years ago.
  • This one could really go either way, with both sides likely to be up for the occasion.

    It's a battle of a similar nations, both with no superstars and very unknown. It will be extremely close and may even go to extra time. South Africa hasn't gone beyond the last 8 for 20 years and this is a greatest chance to do just that.. Cape Verde 0-1 South Africa
