Bafana Bafana vs Liberia

Bafana Bafana need to beat Liberia to get their AFCON qualifying campaign back on track. Here's how we think they'll line up on Tuesday.

Bongokuhle Hlongwane wasn’t brilliant either and his place in attack could go to Monnapule Saleng. Will Hugo Broos make changes to the side? Here’s how we think they’ll line up on Tuesday.

Bafana Bafana face a must-win clash in Liberia on Tuesday in their bid to qualify for the Africa Cup of Nations finals in Ivory Coast next January.

Victory for South Africa will see them through to their first AFCON tournament since 2019 and eleventh in total. Victory for Liberia will see them through to their first AFCON tournament since 2002 and third in total, also qualified in 1996. If they fail to beat Bafana at home that will certainly be viewed in a dim light by all, and how the players react during the game will be important. Liberia will be whipped up into a frenzy with a full house expected in Monrovia, an association desperate to see them win and a coach who has basically already stated that they have qualified ahead of the game. They went to Sudan in March 2021 needing just a draw to qualify for the finals in Cameroon. In the qualifiers for the 2022 World Cup they went to Ghana needing just a draw in their final pool game to advance to the third round, but ended up losing 1-0 in November 2021.

South Africa, on the other hand, are sitting third in the group, tied with just a point alongside Liberia. In Liberia, fans can watch the game on SuperSport Laliga ROA and GOtv Laliga. The first leg ended in a draw last weekend.

Liberia host South Africa at the Samuel Kanyon Doe Sports Complex in Monrovia on Tuesday (March 28) in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.

After two games in Group K, Liberia and South Africa are now level on points with one apiece from two games, with the former third by virtue of more away goals scored. Having made only two appearances in the AFCON finals, the west African side are on course for their third and a first appearance since 2002. Tonia Tisdell halved the deficit in the 68th minute, but they still needed another goal to eke out a point, and cometh the hour, cometh Mohammed Sangare.

Liberia drew 2-2 in the first meeting of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier, and Ansu Keita believes South Africa will lose away on March 28.

I am not pushing things, I am telling the truth, at home we are prepared." but we are more prepared than them at this time, mentally, physically, technically, and tactically we are prepared. I don’t believe [we have an advantage], even our players don't play [on] artificial in Europe," Keita said as quoted by

Everything will be cock-a-hoop on Tuesday when South Africa meet hosts Liberia in a return AFCON Group K fixture in the capital Monrovia which has a ...

Weah, one of the world's greatest footballers in the 1990s, is a former national team player with 75 caps, as well as a national team coach. In the same year, he won his greatest accolade, the 1995 FIFA World Player of the Year. “The game is not at 2pm. That should also contribute to a hostile and intimidating atmosphere for the South African visitors. If it happens it will be in stark contrast to the smallish crowd at Orlando Stadium. Liberian fans are also thrilled that the Samuel Kanyon Doe Stadium, their national stadium, has been declared suitable for hosting international again.

Williams and Bafana need three points in Monrovia to guarantee themselves a place at he Africa Cup of Nations finals.

If we can make the same performance as we did in the first half (in Orlando), but for 90 minutes and more, we can win (on Tuesday). But I can say that from my chair, that is easy, we have to do it (on the pitch).” You have to play for 95 minutes, it is not only about one half, hopefully we will learn our lesson and won’t repeat the same mistakes.”

Bafana Bafana face a crunch Africa Cup of Nations qualifier in Liberia on Tuesday evening, where victory will put them into the finals in Ivory Coast next ...

When CAF made their referee appointments for this fixture they probably did not peg it as being such a crucial one, but they have still handed the match to a relatively inexperienced official in Ghanaian Daniel Laryea. It is also a chance for the country’s President George Weah, one of the greatest African players ever, to ride the wave of good feeling that will surely come with an unexpected qualification. A newly-laid artificial surface at the Samuel Kanyon Doe Sports Complex in Monrovia will add a layer of complexity to the fixture for Bafana, with many of their players not used to playing on plastic.

Hugo Broos will have very little cause for complaint if Bafana Bafana loses to Liberia tonight and he gets sacked as a result.

The Lone Stars had claimed just a solitary win in 17 years on the road in AFCON qualifying. Yes, that tie is at home, but can you see Bafana getting a result in that one? If South Africa fails to get the job done tonight, Hugo Broos should be sacked.

In some ways, it would have been fun to see Hugo Broos completely lose his rag in the post match press conference after Bafana Bafana threw away a two-goal ...

The result against Liberia in Orlando was poor, and the limp surrender in the last 30 minutes was dismal, but Broos can also hardly be to blame for the kind of chances missed by Percy Tau and Bongokuhle Hlongwane. The first point is that if Broos had come in and lost his rag, it may well have come off a lot worse than simply refusing to speak. Bafana still have an Africa Cup of Nations finals to qualify for, and they can do that if they beat Liberia in Monrovia on Tuesday evening.

Bongokuhle Hlongwane wasn’t brilliant either and his place in attack could go to Monnapule Saleng. Here’s everything you need to know including kickoff time, the likely South Africa XI and key qualifying info. Aubrey Modiba didn’t have his best game and he could be sacrificed for Innocent Maela at left-back.
