South Africa vs Guinea Prediction and Betting Tips | 11th August 2025

South Africa take on Guinea at the Mandela National Stadium in Kampala on Monday at the 2024 African Nations Championship, looking for their first win of the competition. Ranked 56th in the world, Bafana Bafana pegged Algeria back in a 1-1 draw in their first group fixture.

Abdennour Belhocini fired the Desert Warriors in front after 29 minutes, but Thabiso Kutumela restored parity for South Africa just before halftime.

With one point in the bag, South Africa are in fourth place in Group C and need wins to stand a chance of advancing into the quarter-finals, a feat they previously achieved only in 2011 - their first appearance at the Championship.

Guinea, meanwhile, are in second position, just behind Algeria with three points from two games. Syli National narrowly saw off Niger 1-0 in their opening game, with Mohamed Bangoura netting the only goal of the game two minutes into the second half.

On matchday two, Uganda brought them back down to earth by inflicting a heavy 3-0 loss upon them. Reagan Mpande fired them in front in the 31st minute, before Allan Okello and Ivan Ahimbisibwe struck apiece after the break to consolidate Uganda's hold on the game.
