AFCON 2025 Team Predictions


  • Ronwen Williams, South Africa, October 2025Backpage

    GOALKEEPER: Ronwen Williams

    The Bafana captain has conceded four goals in three matches at this AFCON and those might read discouraging statistics which he might be keen to improve on.

  • Khuliso Mudau and Daniel Msendami, Bafana Bafana vs ZimbabweGetty

    RIGHT-BACK: Khuliso Mudau

    The Sundowns star would be vigilant to make sure Cameroon players will not be there to exploit his swinging hand for a possible penalty.  

  • Aubrey Modiba, Bafana Bafana, August 2025Backpage

    LEFT-BACK: Aubrey Modiba

    An almost guaranteed figure in this position, Modiba's experience would be key to contain the Indomitable Lions attackers.

  • Mbekezeli Mbokazi, Bafana Bafana, October 2025Backpagepix

    CENTRE-BACK: Mbekezeli Mbokazi

    After being roasted by Zimbabwe forward Tawanda Maswanhise, Mbokazi sparked a talking point that he can easily be breached.  

    But the Cameroon match gives him an opportunity to silence those who were mocking him.   

  • Siyabonga Ngezana, Bafana Bafana, September 2024BackPagePix

    CENTRE-BACK: Siyabonga Ngezana

    His combination with Mbokazi in central defence is one Broos has grown to trust, but they have to improve to keep their first clean sheet of this tournament edition. 

  • Teboho Mokoena, Bafana Bafana, November 2025Backpage

    CENTRAL MIDFIELDER: Teboho Mokoena

    He is yet to reach that level he was during the 2023 AFCON, but there is always room for him to raise his game.   

  • Bathusi Aubaas, Bafana Bafana vs Super EaglesBackpage

    CENTRAL MIDFIELDER: Bathusi Aubaas

    Aubaas got some rave reviews from Broos after being brought in for Sphephelo Sithole against Zimbabwe when the latter was struggling.  

  • Sipho Mbule, Bafana Bafana, December 2025Backpage

    ATTACKING MIDFIELDER: Sipho Mbule

    The Pirates man is yet to become that playmaker he is expected to turn himself into at this tournament, but on his day, he can be devastating to opponents.   

  • Tshepang Moremi, Bafana Bafana, June 2024Backpagepix

    RIGHT ATTACKER: Tshepang Moremi

    Moremi has performed above expectations at this AFCON and has earned himself more trust from Broos.   

  • FBL-AFR-2025-MATCH 04-RSA-ANGAFP

    LEFT ATTACKER: Oswin Appollis

    Appollis has scored two goals at this tournament and that could make him a player to watch for Cameroon.  

  • FBL-AFR-2025-MATCH 28-ZWE-RSAAFP

    CENTRE-FORWARD: Lyle Foster

    Another Bafana player with two goals in three games, Foster has a big task to show why Broos has made him his main man upfront.
