🔊 The national teams of Eswatini and Tanzania are set to clash in the second round of the COSAFA Cup in Group C. From a tournament motivation standpoint, Tanzania's journey is effectively over as they have lost their chance to reach the semifinals. Meanwhile, Eswatini, with a victory, can level on points with the group leaders Madagascar and advance to the semifinals based on head-to-head performance. Will they manage to pull it off?
Head-to-Head
📊 The national teams of Eswatini and Tanzania last faced each other on May 18, 2015, during the COSAFA Cup. Eswatini emerged victorious in that match with a narrow 1-0 win.
Eswatini Team Overview
The team's last match took place on in the COSAFA Cup, with Madagascar hosting Eswatini. The game ended in a 1-1 draw.
Here are the match statistics (Eswatini vs Madagascar):
- possession percentage: 55% vs 45%;
- corner kicks: 5 vs 1;
- yellow cards: 0 vs 1;
- shots on target: 6 vs 7.
Eswatini faced off against Madagascar in their first group stage match, which ended in a 1-1 draw. Madagascar then secured a victory in their next game against Tanzania, winning 1-0. Meanwhile, Eswatini sat out the round as Morocco withdrew from the tournament, leaving just three teams in Group C. This puts Madagascar at the top of the table with 4 points and a goal difference of 2:1 (+1). If Eswatini win their next match and score more than one goal, they will tie with Madagascar on points, but Eswatini will advance to the semifinals based on head-to-head criteria.
Tanzania Team Overview
The visiting team played their last match on in the COSAFA Cup, with Tanzania as the hosts and Madagascar as the visitors. The match concluded with a 0-1 scoreline.
Here are the match statistics (Tanzania vs Madagascar):
- possession percentage: 54% vs 46%;
- corner kicks: 2 vs 3;
- yellow cards: 1 vs 4;
- shots on target: 2 vs 3.
Tanzania's hopes of reaching the semifinals were dashed after a 1-0 defeat to Madagascar. Tanzania remain without a point, while Madagascar have already secured 4 points. Even if Tanzania manage to defeat Eswatini, they will only finish second with three points, which is not enough to advance to the semifinals. Therefore, a victory would only serve to disrupt Eswatini's plans.
