South Africa are one of the best teams in the history of the COSAFA Cup with five titles so far. They will certainly be among the favorites for another trophy this July. South Africa played well this year with a 4-1-1 record in all competitions. The last matches they had in May were in the African Nations Championship qualifications, where South Africa won 2-1 on aggregate score in two games against Malawi.
Mozambique are still without a title at the COSAFA Cup. Their best results came in 2008 and 2015 when they lost in the finals. Mozambique didn't play much in 2025. In two matches this year, Chiquinho Conde's team achieved a victory and a defeat in the World Cup qualifiers. In the previous game, Mozambique lost 5-1 on the road against Algeria. In that match, the home side exploited all the weaknesses of Conde's team.
South Africa vs Mozambique pick: Under 2.5 goals
Interestingly, South Africa and Mozambique played in the same group in last year's COSAFA Cup, too. In that game, it was 1-1. Both these teams should have serious problems with scoring goals, so under 2.5 goals should be the best betting choice.

South Africa team news
In the COSAFA Cup, teams rarely field their best players, so call-ups at this tournament often receive their first appearances for the national team. The best South African player at the upcoming COSAFA Cup is expected to be Victor Letsoala, who was the top goalscorer at the 2021 tournament. Letsoala scored four goals in 21 matches for TS Galaxy in the previous season. Bruce Bvuma and Mduduzi Shabalala are also important players in the South African team.
