🔊 In the opening match of Group C in the COSAFA Cup, set to take place in Bloemfontein, Tanzania will face off against Madagascar. According to bookmakers, the "Stars of the Nation" are favored in this upcoming clash. However, we advise caution in making a definitive prediction, given the inconsistent performances of the nominal hosts in recent matches. So, what can Madagascar bring to the table? Let's analyze.
Head-to-head statistics Tanzania - Madagascar

Tanzania Team Overview
Group C of the COSAFA Cup features just three teams: alongside upcoming opponents Tanzania and Madagascar, Eswatini are also in the mix. With each team still in contention to advance, every match carries significant weight. Tanzania enter the tournament on the back of a four-game losing streak, having suffered defeats in friendlies against Zanzibar, Kenya, and Burkina Faso, as well as a loss to Morocco in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. In Group E of the qualifiers, Tanzania sit fourth after four rounds, with two wins and two losses. Particularly concerning is their recent form: in these four matches, Tanzania have failed to score a single goal while conceding seven.

Madagascar Team Overview
Madagascar can't boast stable results either, having secured just two wins, two draws, and six losses in their last 10 matches. Notably, in five of those six defeats, the team failed to find the back of the net. In the World Cup qualifiers for North America, Madagascar sit third in Group I after six rounds, with three wins, one draw, and two losses. During this stretch, they have scored nine goals and conceded six. These results keep them in contention for the second spot in their qualifying group and make them a formidable competitor in the COSAFA Cup, including a potential challenge for the top spot in their group. They should not be underestimated.
