Our prediction for this World Cup 2026 match:
A place at the 2022 FIFA World Cup finals will be at stake when Ghana and South Africa face each other in the Group G derby on Sunday evening. The Black Stars dropped two points in a 1-1 draw with Ethiophia, but a win over Bafana Bafana will see them book their ticket for Qatar. The Ayew brothers should keep their spots in the starting XI, and all eyes will be on the duo when the two teams face each other in the decider.
Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey missed the Ethiopia game due to the lack of fitness, but he should play some part in Sunday’s showdown. South Africa are on a four-game winning run in Group G, but seeing that Ghana are a real force to be reckoned with at home, the visitors are unlikely to grab something from the match.
Highlighted Team (South Africa):
Controlled by South Africa Football Association, South Africa national football team mainly play their home games at FNB Stadium which can hold up to 94,736 spectators. The Bafana Bafana qualified for their first FIFA World Cup in 1998, but they failed to advance to the knockout stages of the showpiece tournament in France.
Four years later South Africa participated at the 2002 FIFA World Cup in Japan and South Korea, with the team suffering once again suffering elimination in the group stages of the competition. South Africa were elected to host the 2010 FIFA World Cup, but despite defeating France in Group A, they eventually failed to book their place in the last 16.
The Bafana Bafana, though, did well to win the 1996 Africa Cup of Nations, with the team beating Tunisia in the title game. South Africa played their first international game against Argentina back in 1906, with the team suffering a 1-0 loss to the Albiceleste,
