The Super Eagles need victory

This match is crucial for the Super Eagles, who currently sit with only two points from their opening two qualifiers. A win is essential to keep their World Cup hopes alive.

In their last outing at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium, the team drew 1-1 against a surprisingly strong Lesotho side (ranked 153rd in the world).

While the Super Eagles dominated possession after conceding an early goal, they were unable to secure the victory.

To avoid another setback, the team will need to be more clinical against South Africa. A loss would severely damage their qualification chances.
