We said: South Africa 1-1 Namibia

The pressure is on South Africa to get a win here, especially with a difficult final group match against Tunisia likely to determine their fate. Namibia were deserved winners in their first match, and while they would relish the opportunity to beat their neighbours, they would likely settle for a draw here, which would put them in a very strong position to reach the last 16. It should be an intense match between two sides that know each other very well, and we feel there will be nothing to split them at the final whistle. Read more.
