Team News
South Africa
South Africa are set to rely once more on the leadership and shot-stopping of goalkeeper Ronwen Williams, with Mbekezeli Mbokazi anchoring the defence and Bathusi Aubaas a potential midfield inclusion after Broos confirmed that Sphephelo Sithole’s omission against Zimbabwe was a tactical decision rather than injury-related.

Relebohile Mofokeng is pushing for a role either on the right flank or centrally and Sipho Mbule is expected to continue after returning in a more attack-minded setup led by Lyle Foster. 

South Africa possible starting lineup:
Williams; Mudau, Modiba, Mbokazi, Ngezana; Mokoena, Aubaas, Mbule; Mofokeng, Appollis, Foster

Cameroon
Cameroon, meanwhile, will depend on the intelligence of Bryan Mbeumo, the experience of Christian Bassogog and the midfield authority of Carlos Baleba.
Both Mbeumo and Baleba having been withdrawn at half-time against Mozambique to avoid suspension, while captain Nouhou Tolo remains a concern after being forced off with a hamstring injury and replaced in defence by Christopher Wooh.
Cameroon possible starting lineup:
Epassy; Tolo, Kotto, Malone; Yongwa, Baleba, Namaso, Tchamadeu, Ebong; Mbeumo, Kofane
Prediction: South Africa 2-1 Cameroon
