South Sudan vs Bafana Bafana: All you need to know
Match Preview
South Sudan will host Bafana Bafana in their second group game in the AFCON qualifiers after losing their first match against Congo 1-0 in Brazzaville.
The Bright Stars have not won in five matches in 2024 and are going into the game against South Africa on a poor run.
Bafana Bafana, on the other end, earned a deserving draw against Uganda in their opening fixture and are still expected to top the group.
Team News
South Sudan could be without Joseph Dhata after he was substituted due to injury in the loss against Congo and could be replaced by Atendele Mawa.
The main issue for Broos in the game is finding the right choice to be in goal for Bafana Bafana. Mothwa's error against Uganda leaves the door open for Sipho Chaine and Ricardo Goss to take their chances.
One of Lyle Foster or Iqraams Rayners is expected to lead the attack, with the former scoring one of the goals in their last match.
