South Africa are unlikely to make major changes for Tuesday’s match after a good performance in the reverse game.
Mothobi Mvala and Teboho Mokoena will continue to play in the engine room, while Evidence Makgopa, who scored his third goal off the bench last time out, will be hoping to secure a starting spot.
Rushine De Reuck, a defender for Mamelodi Sundowns, will continue to command the back line after swiftly establishing himself in the national squad.
