Green Mamba vs 1º de AgostoPrediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

A knockout tie with no league table to lean on, so recent results tell the story. Green Mamba come in on a run of three straight wins, 3-2 against Tabankulu, 2-1 away at Manzini Wanderers and 1-0 against Sisonkhe, preceded by two away draws, 1-1 with Rangers FC and 0-0 with Royal Leopards: five matches without defeat. 1º de Agosto have won three of their last five, 2-1 away at 1º de Maio, 1-0 against Desportivo Huíla and 1-0 away at Luanda City, with a 1-1 at home to Redonda FC and their only slip in a 0-1 loss to Kabuscorp. The scorelines are tight: all five of the Angolans' last five finished with a single goal of margin or less. There is no previous meeting on record between the two clubs. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one.
