On the last match day in Group D, leaders Morocco and third-placed South Africa meet. While the lions from the Atlas have come through the group stage without blemish and are qualified for the knockout stages with two wins, the Bafana Bafana started with a well-deserved defeat against the Ivorian elephants. The second game was a must-win and the team delivered it in the shape of a 1-0 against the neighbors from Namibia. However, the team could playfully convince again little. The success was mainly due to a blameless harmlessness on the part of the Brave Warriors. Due to the three points South Africa is still back in the race for qualification for the knockout stages.

South Africa vs Morocco Betting PredictionsSouth Africa – Statistics & Current Form

Football in South Africa has seen better times: qualifiers for a World Cup like 1998 and 2002 have not been achieved, with the exception of the 2010 World Cup and automatically secured participation. Also in the Africa Cup, where the Bafana Bafana first triumphed in 1996 and came in the following two editions always in the top three, it was sobering in the recent past. In 2017, the qualification was missed and two years earlier, only the last place in their own group was taken.

The entry into the current competition failed as well. With 0: 1 South Africa had to give the kickers from the Ivory Coast completely deserved beaten. No direct shot on goal was made in the game by Scottish coach Stuart Baxter’s team. The recent victory against Namibia was again narrowly 1-0 and can be classified as a happy duty against a playfully but very limited opponent.

Before the Africa Cup South Africa already completed the COSAFA Cup, a kind of championship of the southern part of the continent. More than fifth place on penalties against Malawi, only number 128 in the world rankings, was also not in this year. Furthermore, the three games in this competition, which took place in just six days at the beginning of June, certainly cost a lot of strength. In South Africa, there is otherwise a lack of quality in all parts of the team, and the offense is usually hard to beat for harmlessness. With 23-year-old Lebo Mothiba from French League Cup winner Racing Strasbourg, best scorer of the Alsatian club this season, and two-year-old Percy Tau from Brighton & Hove Albion, who in turn is in the second Belgian league for the Brussels club this season Royale Union St. Gilles was loaned out, the squad has two talented offensive forces, but equivalent combatants are missing.

Expected formation of South Africa:
↳ Williams – Mkhize – Hlanti – Mkhwanazi – Hlatshwayo – Makotjo – Tau – Maboe – Furman – Mothiba – Zwane
