Angola has emerged as one of the delightful shocks in this year’s Africa Cup of Nations. Despite facing stiff competition in a group with Burkina Faso, Mauritania, and Algeria, they astounded everyone by securing seven points from three matches, thereby topping the standings. After a 1-1 draw against Algeria, they triumphed 3-2 over Mauritania and 2-0 against Burkina Faso. Angola was not expected to win any of these three matches, yet they demonstrated an unexpectedly high standard of football.

Namibia has pleasantly surprised many in the competition. Their progression from a group that included South Africa, Tunisia, and Mali was unexpected. However, they managed to secure four points and one of the top third positions. They were considered underdogs in the final round against Mali, yet they put up a strong defense to secure a 0-0 draw. Now, under the guidance of Collin Benjamin, they are set to face Angola as underdogs, but they are hopeful of causing an upset.

Angola vs Namibia pick: Angola to win

Both teams exceeded expectations, however, Angola appears to have a stronger team. Namibia interestingly only managed to score one goal across three games, yet still advanced to the knockout stage. Conversely, Angola has already netted six goals. In the forthcoming 1/8 final tie, Angola is anticipated to outperform Namibia.
