Eswatini vs Zimbabwe Prediction: Zimbabwe have a big task ahead

In the African Nations Championship, Mbombela Stadium will host the second-leg encounter between Eswatini and Zimbabwe. Eswatini are in the lead and will look to finish the job. Let’s preview this game and make predictions. 

Eswatini will look to be at their best after a solid performance in the first leg, which ended 0-3. In that encounter, three first-half strikes with Andy Magagula's brace and Sifiso Matse’s 45th-minute goal. In the meantime, prior encounters to that win saw Eswatini go winless in over ten matches. Heading into this game, Eswatini have one win in eleven matches, losing six and drawing three. 

Zimbabwe struggled in the first leg of this game, losing 0-3, and will look to right their wrongs. In the meantime, prior encounters to that game saw this team go unbeaten in four consecutive matches, defeating Namibia while settling for goalless draws with Kenya and Cameroon. Heading into this game, Zimbabwe scored four goals in the last five games while conceding five in the same run. 

This is a difficult task for Zimbabwe after struggling heavily in the first leg. While Eswatini will look to capitalize on their first-leg win, I still believe that Zimbabwe have a chance here. Take Zimbabwe to win this game, an encounter with goals like the first leg.
