Predicting Bafana Bafana's XI to face South Sudan in 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier - Relebohile Mofokeng and Patrick Maswanganyi set to start?

Bafana Bafana are gearing up for their final match of the 2025 African Cup of Nations qualifiers against South Sudan on Tuesday at the DHL Stadium in Cape Town. 

South Africa, who are at the top of the Group K table, have not lost a match in this campaign having won three games and shared the spoils on two occasions. 

Having already secured the spot in the Afcon finals, there is bound to be plenty of rotation for this match with Bafana's fringe players poised to feature.

Here's the team Broos could pick for the match as predicted by GOAL.

  • Nyiko Mobbie, Bafana Bafana, September 2023Backpagepix

    RIGHT-BACK: Nyiko Mobbie

    Mobbie is one of the well-trusted soldiers of Broos. The coach could present an opportunity for him to play ahead of Khuliso Mudau and Thapelo Morena.

  • Fawaaz Basadien, Stellenbosch FC, August 2024 Stellenbosch FC

    LEFT-BACK: Fawaaz Basadien

    Broos is likely to give Aubrey Modiba some time to rest in this match and offer an opportunity to Basadien to prove his worth. 

  • Nkosinathi Sibisi, Bafana Bafana.LeCoqSportif

    CENTRE-BACK: Nkosinathi Sibisi

    The 72-year-old tactician has described Sibisi as a leader and he should trust him to lead Bafana's defence against Sudan as Mothobi Mvala is likely to rest.

  • Siyabonga Ngezana, Bafana Bafana, September 2024BackPagePix

    CENTRE-BACK: Siyabonga Ngezana

    Ngezana will want to improve on the disappointing performance he had against Congo-Brazzaville in October. 

  • Bathusi Aubaas, Mamelodi SundownsBackpage

    CENTRAL MIDFIELDER: Bathusi Aubaas

    He made an efficient contribution in Bafana's last two matches and he is likely to guard the midfield against Sudan.

  • Thalente Mbatha, Bafana Bafana, September 2024.BackPagePix

    CENTRAL MIDFIELDER: Thalente Mbatha

    The Belgian mentor could rest Teboho Mokoena and give the talented midfielder a starting berth.

  • Abel Jochua Nhantumbo & Devin Titus, Bafana Bafana vs Mozambique, June 2024Backpagepix

    RIGHT ATTACKER: Devin Titus

    The pacey winger might step in and hope to impress as Broos could bench Elias Mokwana who had a disappointing outing in Kampala. 

  • Relebohile Mofokeng, Orlando PiratesBackpage

    LEFT ATTACKER: Relebohile Mofokeng

    All eyes will be on the South African fan-favourite youngster should be handed a starting berth.

  • Patrick Maswanganyi, Orlando PiratesBackpage

    ATTACKING MIDFIELDER: Patrick Maswanganyi

    The Orlando Pirates star will be hoping to have done enough by scoring a goal against Uganda to earn himself a starting berth against South Sudan.

  • Iqraam Rayners of Mamelodi SundownsBackpagepix

    CENTRE-FORWARD: Iqraam Rayners

    The Mamelodi Sundowns striker, who came on and grabbed an assist against Uganda, might start ahead of Evidence Makgopa.
