Coach Hugo Broos is determined to secure maximum points in this crucial double-header.
While Broos believes that Bafana Bafana hasn’t reached its full potential in recent matches, the team has shown resilience with late comebacks against Uganda and South Sudan.

African football expert Mo G expressed confidence in the available players, amid injury concerns, emphasizing that South Africa has a deep pool of talent. He urged fans to support the team and believe in their abilities. Speaking about the replacements, Mo said,
“South Africa is a nation full of quality players. I mean, there are players that came in right now and we must have faith in those players and we must support those players as much as we supported Mbatha when he was in the team. I believe that every player right now that is selected in the Bafana [Bafana] squad, can (be able to) deliver.”
The discussion also touched on potential replacements and Broos’ decision to release Jayden Adams from the squad due to disciplinary issues.
