Rwanda vs South Africa Preview: Kick-off time,teams news

Rwanda will host South Africa on Tuesday afternoon hoping to claim their first three points of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers in Group C.

While Bafana Bafana managed to get maximum points from Benin in their first game, Amavubi shared the spoils with Zimbabwe.

After Nigeria’s slippery start – that has seen the Super Eagles collect just two points in the group – South Africa will be aiming at capitalising on the situation against the unpredictable Eastern Africans.

  • Bafana team news

    Hugo Broos will have have to do without the services of Aubrey Modiba who is injured meaning Nyiko Mobbie might get his chance.

    Another concern is Mothobi Mvala which paves the way for someone else, most probably Nkosinathi Sibisi to partner Siyanda Xulu.

    Mihlali Mayambela might come in for doubtful Evidence Makgopa who did not finish the game against Benin.

    South Africa probable XI: Williams, Mudau, Mobbie, Xulu, Sibisi, Mokoena, Sithole, Tau, Zwane, Mayambela, Hlongwane
