南非引起不安
南非队在16强赛中淘汰了夺冠热门摩洛哥队，这是本届锦标赛中最令人震惊的一场比赛，他们可以在对阵佛得角队时再赢一场，继续前进。
对于Bafana Bafana’；在对阵阿特拉斯雄狮队的比赛中取得了成功，他们的防守很稳固，而且他们似乎正在收获回报，因为这支球队几乎都在踢国内足球。
防守的稳固性是Hugo Broos成功的一个关键方面；到目前为止，他们在锦标赛上唯一丢的两个球是在首场比赛中输给马里队，他们很可能在这里再赢一场。
他们面对的是佛得角，他们在锦标赛中表现稳定，但在过去十场比赛中输掉了四场，如果这场比赛得分低，他们可能会输掉这场比赛。在第16轮比赛中，克里奥尔队需要一个晚些时候的进球才能超越毛里塔尼亚队，而在这里，他们可能会功亏一篑，在无赌注平局的市场上击败南非队。
幻想中的亲密关系
虽然这是一场得分比平时更高的非洲国家杯，但在淘汰赛阶段，八场比赛中只有两场进球超过2.5球，而南非队；在防守稳固的情况下，他们过去六场比赛中有五场进球少于三球，这看起来是一场谨慎的比赛。
正确得分的支持者应该支持南非1-0获胜，因为他们希望自2000年以来首次进入四强。
- Five of South Africa’s last six games have gone under 2.5 goals
- Cape Verde have lost four of their last ten outings
- South Africa have four clean sheets in their last five matches
South Africa cause upset
South Africa produced one of the biggest shocks of a tournament of shocks by knocking competition favourites Morocco out in the round of 16 and they could continue their progress with another win when they face Cape Verde.
There was no shock about Bafana Bafana’s success against the Atlas Lions, they were solid defensively and they seem to be reaping the rewards of having a squad that almost all play domestic football.
Defensive solidity has been a key aspect of the success of Hugo Broos’ side, the only two goals they have conceded at the tournament so far were in a defeat to Mali in their opening matchup and they could well eke out another victory here.
They face Cape Verde, who have been solid at the tournament but have lost four of their last ten games and could lose this battle if it is a low-scoring one. The Creoles needed a late goal to get past Mauritania in the round of 16 and could fall just short here, take South Africa in the draw no bet market.
Close affair fancied
While this has been a more high-scoring Africa Cup of Nations than usual, the knockout stages have still seen just two of the eight games go over 2.5 goals and with South Africa’s solid defence, five of their last six games have seen fewer than three goals, this looks set to be a cagey affair.
Correct score backers should side with a 1-0 win for South Africa as they look to reach the last four for the first time since 2000.
