Prediction: 1-0
Zimbabwe
South Africa will look to retain top position in Group G when they take on Zimbabwe on Thursday evening. Bafana Bafana are on the right track to secure qualification for the 2022 World Cup finals, and they are seen as favourites to beat Zimbabwe at home ground. Kaizer Chiefs attacker Keagan Dolly has been included in the 24-man squad, with Al Ahly forward returns from injury.
As for the visitors, the Warriors are not enjoying a qualifying campaign to remember, with the team collecting only one point in total in the process. The rock-bottom side have nothing to play for in Thursday’s qualifier, and, taking everything into account, they are unlikely to spoil South Africa’s party at FNB Stadium. When the two teams met at National Sports Stadium in September they played out a goalless draw, but home win should be considered this time out.
Highlighted Player (Keagan Dolly):
Keagan Dolly is a South Africa international who was born in Johannesburg on January 22, 1993. Dolly played for the likes of Westbury Arsenal, School of Excellence, Mamelodi Sundowns and Ajax Cape Town during his youth career and he made his senior debut for the Urban Warriors on August 22, 2012 in a 3-1 loss to Moroka Swallows.
In 2014 he joined fellow PSL club Mamelodi Sundowns and he made 34 appearances for the Kabo Yellow in the league from 2014 to 2017. In the winter of 2017 the 170-cm-tall midfielder moved to France, signing a four-year deal with Montpellier. The South African footballer made his debut for La Paillade February 11, 2017 in a 3-0 victory over Nancy. It has to be noted that he made 12 appearances for Montpellier in the 2016/2017 Ligue 1 campaign.
Keagan Dolly represented South Africa at the 2016 Summer Olympics. He made his debut for Bafana Bafana on September 6, 2016 in a friendly against Egypt.
Highlighted Team (Zimbabwe):
The Zimbabwe national team were known as the Southern Rhodesia national team from 1939 t0 1964 and they played under the name of Rhodesia until 1980. They became Zimbabwe in 1980 and they played their first World Cup qualifying game against Cameroon, losing 2-1.
The Warriors have yet to qualify for the World Cup finals, but it has to be noted that they qualified for the 2017 African Cup of Nations. Zimbabwe faced the likes of Swaziland, Guinea and Malawi in Group L and they clinched top position in their qualifying group, three points clear of second-placed Swaziland. The Warriors play their home games in yellow shirts and yellow shorts, while the colour of their away kit is green.
National Sports Stadium is considered Zimbabwe’s home stadium and the capacity of the venue is 60,000. The team recorded their biggest win on 26 August, 1990 as they rolled over Botswana 7-0 in Gaborone.
