International - COSAFA Cup
Prediction :
Under 2.5 goals and Comoros to win
Madagascar and Comoros will contest the third-place playoff at the COSAFA Cup this Sunday. The two were losing semi-finalists on Friday and will hope to pick something from the competition before heading home. Below we have a prediction of the match.
Madagascar, who advanced to the playoffs after topping Group C, had a tough draw in the semis, facing defending champions Angola. It didn’t go all well for the Islanders, who found themselves trailing 2-0 after 40 minutes.
Attempts at getting back on terms in the second half, with four changes after halftime, bore no fruit. They would score a late consolation to end the game 4-1 losers.
Comoros will be contesting for the third place for the second straight year. In the semis, they had a tough time out against the hosts, South Africa. The island nation failed to settle fast in the game and paid a heavy price for it.
They were already 2-0 down after 15 minutes, the first concession being an own goal from Idriss Mohamed. Boitumelo Radiopane made their work even tougher with a second for South Africa on 14 minutes.
With South Africa firmly in the lead, they slowed down a bit, and Comoros got their footing, Madi Ibrahim pulling one goal back. They would be pegged back again in the second half as South Africa restored the two-goal cushion.

Comoros will be contesting third place for a second year in a row at the COSAFA Cup. They missed out last year, losing to Mozambique on penalties. This season they’ve been more solid and should make one more step.
Madagascar, returning to the competition after missing last year, have done well thus far. However, like Comoros, they aren’t known for scoring a lot, which has let them down time and again, given they aren’t solid defensively either. Our prediction for Madagascar v Comoros is for under 2.5 goals and Comoros to win.
