South Africa’s Bafana Bafana hope to build on their solid start to the World Cup qualifiers when they host Ethiopia this evening.
Belgian coach Hugo Broos, who has led Bafana Bafana to a draw against Zimbabwe and wins over Ghana and Ethiopia, has named a strong starting line-up.
Broos has made changes to the starting line from the last game against Ethiopia with Ngcobo, Letsoalo, Hlongwane, Makgopa getting the nod to start.
Mothobi Mvala, Ethan Duncan Brooks, Vincent Pule and Tshegofatso Mabasa have been relegated to the bench.
With seven points from three games, Bafana Bafana need a win at all cost this evening.
South Africa need to keep at an arms’ length Ghana who have won in Zimbabwe earlier today to remain second on six points from four games.
Starting line-up:
South Africa: Williams (c), Mobbie, Mashego, De Reuck, Xulu, Maart, Ngcobo, Mokoena, Letsoalo, Hlongwane, Makgopa.
