World Cup Qualification CAF news

Three Zimbabwe vs South Africa predictions for their World Cup Qualifier on Friday evening, including value on the winning margin.

South Africa are facing a big test of character in their last two games in their bid to return to the global finals as they face the Warriors and Rwanda. They have been in an almost similar situation before when Ghana ended their quest to go to Qatar during Hugo Broos' early days as their coach. Now, they would want to avoid failing again and as their northern neighbours threaten to dash their hopes.

The former Amakhosi attacker has been arrested and arraigned after being found in possession of an illegal substance in Zimbabwe.

These young fans are optimistic that the national team will help them fulfil their World Cup dreams.

The two Warriors players came out of retirement from international football to try and save their country, but Michael Nees' side is already out of contention to go to the World Cup. Having previously played Premier Soccer League football for Amakhosi, they are much familiar with South Africa players and might know what to expect from Hugo Broos' side.

The Buccaneers winger is not part of the national team currently in camp preparing to tackle Zimbabwe and Rwanda in do-or-die matches that have a huge bearing on whether South Africa secure a berth to USA/Canada/Mexico in June 2026. The 20-year-old has made himself a player trusted by coach Hugo Broos and is likely to go to the 2025 AFCON finals.

Three Burundi vs Kenya predictions for their World Cup qualifier on Thursday afternoon, including value on the match result.

South Africa are preparing for two final qualifiers under considerable pressure given that they must fight and compensate for the points lost through deduction. However, a retired star has given them a strategy that they can use and collect six more points.

The Hluhluwe-born defender has been on a rapid rise since making his professional football debut in March. He has established himself as an important player for both club and country. But a former footballer is convinced that the Buccaneers and Bafana Bafana central defender is not being fully utilised.

Coach of the South Africa national side has explained the reason why the two are no longer part of his team after they both left Stellenbosch to join the Brazilians this year. Now with both Masandawana stars struggling for regular football they have lost out on their national team jerseys and face missing the continental finals in Morocco.

Three Central African Republic vs Ghana predictions for their World Cup Qualifier on Wednesday night, including value on the winning margin.

There have been questions about the exclusion of the two attackers who have been doing well for their respective club teams.

This fan urges South Africa not to rely on results elsewhere in Group C but to go 'for the kill' in their own games to ensure Mzansi can enjoy their first appearance at the global tournament since hosting in 2010.

The Belgian hopes to guide Mzansi to wins in the forthcoming matches to stand a chance of dining with the big boys in the global competition.

The Amavubi star has been the talk of the country since Sunday after his decision to defy the Amakhosi technical bench and refuse to be replaced by his rival.

In his characteristically blunt style the Belgian tactician pointed out the midfielder and defender were wrecking their AFCON and World Cup dreams by pursuing moves that led to them warming the bench instead of gaining valuable playing time.

The Bucs youngster has been ruled out after suffering an injury during their Carling Knockout Cup game against Siwelele. Ahead of the vital games, the Mofokeng absence is another setback that Bafana are facing, apart from the FIFA decision to deduct their points.
