Prediction: 1-0
Zimbabwe
After holding Nigeria to a 1-1 draw in Uyo, South Africa will be looking to return to winning ways in Group C when they take on Zimbabwe in round 4. The Bafana Bafana have a chance to climb to the qualification places, but they will have to showcase their worth on the field. Barring any fresh injury worries, Hugo Broos is unlikely to make changes to the team that shared the spoils with the Super Eagles.
The Warriors, on the other hand, are stuck at the bottom of the standings with only two points on their account. Considering that Zimbabwe produced a poor performance in a 2-0 loss to Lesotho at the weekend, we are tempted to place our bets on South Africa. To make things even more complicated for the visiting side, defender Andrew Mbeba misses the game through suspension. In their last encounter in the WC qualifiers South Africa defeated Zimbabwe 1-0.
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,
