Nigeria vs South Africa: Bafana Bafana Make Three Changes

South Africa coach Shakes Mashaba has made three changes from the side that beat Sudan 2-1 on Saturday for the final Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifying showdown with Nigeria on Wednesday evening in Uyo.

Bafana Bafana have already clinched their ticket for the 30th edition of the continental football showpiece billed for Equatorial Guinea having won Group A with 11 points, ahead of second-placed Nigeria tied on 7 points with Congo, who face a trip to bottom-placed Sudan on 3 points.

South Africa are hoping to maintain their unbeaten run under coach Ephraim ‘shakes’ Mashaba, and hope to record a memorable victory over the Super Eagles at the newly-opened Akwa Ibom International Stadium.
Kaizer Chief trio of Tefu Mashamaite, Reneilwe Letsholonyane and Mandla Masango have been named in the starting lineup in place of Rivaldo Coetzee, Andile Jali and the injured Thulani Serero.
Dean Furman again retains the captain armband while Goalkeeper Darren Keet mans the goalpost.
Orlando Pirates strike duo of Kermit Erasmus and Lehlohonolo Majoro will start from the bench. Majoro missed Saturday’s emotional victory over Sudan with an ankle problem.
South Africa XI vs. Nigeria: Keet, Khumalo, Ngongca, Mashamaite, Mathoho, Manyisa, Furman, Letsholonyane, Masango, Rantie, Ndulula
