Bafana Bafana will be looking to strengthen their position at the top of Group D when they host Kenya in a crucial 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier at Orlando Amstel Arena in Johannesburg on Friday.
The match, scheduled to kick off at 18:00, will see South Africa come up against a Kenyan side coached by former Bafana Bafana striker Benni McCarthy.
Coach Pitso Mosimane’s men head into the encounter with confidence after winning their opening two qualifying matches, beating Guinea 2-1 before thrashing Eritrea 5-0.
South Africa currently lead Group D with six points and will be targeting another victory to strengthen their chances of securing a place at the tournament.
Kenya, meanwhile, are already guaranteed a place at AFCON 2027 as one of the three co-hosting nations alongside Uganda and Tanzania.
The two teams will meet again in the return fixture in Nairobi on Tuesday, 17 November.
The back-to-back encounters present Bafana with an opportunity to collect valuable points as they pursue qualification for the continental showpiece.
