The Bafana Bafana of South Africa returns to action on Saturday afternoon at the FNB Stadium as they welcome the Atlas Lions of Morocco.

Hugo Broos’ side already knows they are on their way to Ivory Coast and may not be in a fierce encounter with the North Africans. However, this would be another opportunity to test new areas.

South Africa booked their place in next year’s competition following the victory over Liberia.

Form Guide

Following the disappointing draw at Orlando Stadium, Bafana Bafana beat the Lone Stars of Liberia in the reverse fixture in Monrovia.

Morocco played a scoreless draw in an international friendly against Cape Verde and Peru. The last time they won was against Brazil.

Players to watch

Zakhele Lepasa

SuperSport United forward Zakhele Lepasa was outstanding in the previous game against Liberia in Monrovia. The 26-year-old played as the lone striker in a 4 – 2 – 3 – 1 formation and was on target.

Mihlali Mayambela

Mihlali Mayambela was one of the standout players in the impressive victory over Liberia in Monrovia. The 26-year-old Aris FC midfielder is expected to be in action against the Atlas Lions on Saturday.

Sofiane Boufal

Fiorentina star Sofiane Boufal would be one of the attacking threats of the Morocco team. The 29-year-old had an outstanding season in Italy, where he helped his club to the finals of the Coppa Italia and the UEFA Europa Conference League.

Youssef En Nesyri

It would be difficult to ignore the impact of Youssef En Nesyri on the team. The 26-year-old forward won the UEFA Europa League with La Liga side Sevilla, scoring four goals.
