How Bafana Bafana Should Line-Up Against Libya

How Bafana Bafana Should Line-Up Against Libya

Bafana Bafana will lock horns with Libya on Sunday, March 24, in their final Africa Cup Of Nations qualifying encounter, but how should South Africa line-up on the day? 

A win or a draw will see the national team book their spot in the Afcon competition that will take place in Egypt this year, however, Head Coach Stuart Baxter revealed that he does not want to settle for a defensive approach but rather be quite 'aggressive'.

Baxter will name his 18-man squad on Sunday. In the interim, the likes of former Kaizer Chiefs assistant coach, Farouk Khan and former Bidvest Wits goalkeeper, Sean Roberts, give their take on who they believe should make their way into the starting line-up on the day.

"With the team he selected, I do believe they can (win). (This) if he has a good spine, made up of Ronwen Williams in goal, Rivaldo Coetzee and Tyson (Thulani Hlatshwayo) at centre back, with both Dean Furman and Hlompho Kekana as two number sixes, Percy Tau and Themba Zwane as wide attacker's with Bongani Zungu and Lebo Mothiba up front," Khan said.

Here is Roberts' entire predicted starting line-up, and while he has added Keagan Dolly to his selection, the midfielder has since been ruled out of selection due to injury. Roberts' selection: 

Ronwen Williams

Thamsanqa Mkhize

Thulani Hlatshwayo

Rivaldo Coetzee

Sifiso Hlanti

Dean Furman

Keagan Dolly

Bongani Zungu

Themba Zwane

Percy Tau

Lebo Mothiba
