GettyBenin coach Gernot Rohr has no suspended player for this match and can always trust the likes of captain Steve Mounie, Mohamed Tijani and Dodo Dokou,who had a goal and an assist in the 2-2 draw with Zimbabwe last Friday.
Benin possible XI: Dandjinou, Kiki, Roche, Tijani, Ouorou, D'Almeida, Hassane, Olaitan, Dokou, Mounie, Hountondji
BackpageBafana would be hoping the absence of playmaker Themba Zwane will not be felt in this away fixture but in-form Relebohile Mofokeng seems ready for the responsibility to carry the national team.
Centre-back Mothobi Mvala is also out nursing a long-term injury but coach Hugo Broos has enough cover in Nkosinathi Sibisi, Siyabonga Ngezana and Grant Kekana.
Bafana possible XI: Williams, Mudau, Basadien, Ngezana, Sibisi, Mokoena, Adams, Mofokeng, Mokwana, Morena, Foster
