- Zimbabwe conceded an expected goals (xG) figure of 2.93 in their first match against Egypt.
- Angola managed to find the net through Manuel Show in their opening day loss to South Africa.

- A defeat for either side in this second round fixture could result in an early tournament exit.
The statistical data from the opening round strongly favors Angola. Despite their loss, Angola's underlying metrics showed a team that was competitive and efficient in transition. Zimbabwe, however, was statistically fortunate to only lose 2-1 to Egypt, having conceded a massive 2.93 expected goals (xG). This suggests that the Zimbabwean defense is susceptible to high-quality chances, something Angola is capable of creating. Angola also averages nearly ten shots per game, outperforming Zimbabwe's average of eight. With Zimbabwe winning only once in their last seven fixtures, the momentum is clearly not on their side. Angola's pass completion in the opposition half is also notably higher, indicating a superior ability to break down defensive blocks. If Angola maintains their attacking intensity and tightens up their defensive transitions, the stats suggest they will have too much firepower for a Zimbabwe side that has been struggling to prevent goals.
