Can WAFCON contenders Nigeria, South Africa compensate for ... (ESPN)

WAFCON favourites South Africa and Nigeria are missing key players like Asisat Oshoala and Thembi Kgatlana for the knockouts. Will it matter?

Predictions: With experience on their side, and an unbeaten group-stage record behind them, Banyana are the favourites heading into this one... Cameroon can turn on the style -- look at how they eviscerated The Gambia in qualification -- but will their meeting with the Super Falcons come too soon? Prediction: The Mares have done well to be the last debutants still standing -- particularly considering their nightmarish group stage draw -- although they're contending with several injuries in the camp as the quarters approach. Ellis's big players have all stepped up, with Linda Motlhalo excellent against Nigeria, and Refiloe Jane and Jermaine Seoposenwe also effective. USA-based defender Estelle Johnson is also building on her strong showing at the 2019 World Cup. Zambia's Barbra Banda was ruled out before the tournament began, due to hormone testing deeming her testosterone levels too high. The loss of Racing Louisville's Kgatlana, however, is a massive blow to their hopes -- there's no one in that squad that can replace her raw talent -- and having been both Top Scorer and Best Player at the last WAFCON, she's got the kind of pedigree that could have taken South Africa to the title. The story so far: South Africa's second-half display against Nigeria in their opener was a joy to behold, as Desiree Ellis's side showed their maturity to dispatch the favourites in a rematch from the 2018 final. There's increasingly a sense of destiny about Chebbak, who scored one of the goals of the tournament -- a direct free kick against Burkina Faso -- and then delivered one of the celebrations of the tournament when she pretended to faint in delight. The Atlas Lionesses skipper has made no secret of the fact that she's delivering each performance in honour of her father -- who passed away in 2020 -- and she has the potential to win both the Golden Boot and the Golden Shoe. It was a bitter blow for the Copper Queens -- looking to build on their maiden Olympic performance in Japan last year -- with Banda having been the six-goal star of that campaign in Japan. One of the key themes of the WAFCON so far has been the loss of some of the tournament's biggest stars, with South Africa, Nigeria and Zambia all now having to reconfigure their tactical approaches after losing their key player.

Despite a stunning 4-1 thumping of Togo during the group stage, Tunisia were defeated by Zambia and Cameroon back to back in their subsequent fixtures, and have their work cut out to bypass Banyana. South Africa qualified for their first ever World Cup in 2019—on the back of their run to the 2018 Wafcon final—and will be desperate to build on that success as they face North Africans Tunisia on Thursday. It was an opportunity for revenge after Banyana were defeated on penalties by the Super Falcons in the 2018 final, and their victory this time around proved the launchpad for South Africa to go on and enjoy a fine group stage campaign.
