According to KickOff, Broos wants to secure qualification as early as possible and has gone so far as to put his job on the line if Bafana fails to reach its target.
Broos said:
"It will not be easy because we are playing against an opponent that is already qualified and confident. I think they played very good qualifiers, and they are playing at home."
Fans predict a Bafana victory
Local football fans said on social media that Bafana will beat Uganda and book their place at the 2025 Afcon in Morocco.
L.J. Mamashila trusts Bafana:
"Playing away in a packed stadium won't be easy, but I trust our boys. We would have won the first game if it hadn't been for that Veli Mothwa blunder. Good luck, Bafana."
Peter Tiisa Lekalakala is a Bafana fan:
"We're here to support Bafana Bafana."
Kay Mbele warned Uganda:
"Ugandans love football, but this time around, it's who they're playing against that matters. The African Bronze medalists. There's so much respect for Bafana Bafana now, so they understand the importance of supporting their team."
Sivuyile Mfakele Mfakele backs Bafana:
"All the best soldiers. Rise, Bafana, rise."
Musa Kazibwe supports Uganda:
"We are going to hammer South Africa."
