TEAM NEWS
Godeon Mensah, Thomas Partey, Jonathan Mensah and Richard Ofori are still out of coach Milovan’s selection for the Black Stars due to an injury whiles the debutant Felix Afena Gyan of AS Roma would also be unavailable but there’s no major injury after playing Ethiopia in South Africa. South Africa are also going into the game with any injury after a slim win over Zimbabwe.
Both coaches are likely to opt a new style to demonstrate an excellent football. South Africa has a 60percent chance of making it to the playoffs despite playing in Cape Coast. A draw or a win will land them in the right direction.
