Editor's Prediction
Angola are rightfully considered the favorites in the upcoming semifinal clash. The team not only boasts a higher level of individual skill but also has substantial experience in the decisive stages of tournaments. Compared to Madagascar, Angola appear more stable and powerful both in attack and defense. The stats back this up: Angola have scored six goals and conceded just one in three matches, while Madagascar have scored two and conceded one in two games. Angola might not showcase high scoring against a cautious and organized opponent, but they are unlikely to concede either. Bet: Angola to win.[(FC Kairat Almaty) Strength]: 1.
