Namibia
South Africa and Namibia square off against each other at Amadou Gon Coulibaly Stadium in the closing match of Sunday’s program. Bafana Bafana aim to recover from a 2-0 loss to Mali and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against Namibia. As for the home side, both Zakhele Lepasa and Mihlali Mayambela are pushing for a start after the duo came off the bench in the first group game.
The Brave Warriors, on the other hand, did well to shock Tunisia in the opening match of their Africa Cup of Nations campaign, with experienced forward Deon Hotto scoring a late winner. In their last meeting at the AFCON, back in 2019, South Africa defeated Namibia, but the share of spoils is on the cards this time out as the two sides seem to be evenly matched. Collin Benjamin is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated the Eagles of Carthage.
