Bafana not in Afcon toughest group but still have to toil to reach round of 16: Hugo Broos

“It’s not the most difficult group but we have Tunisia and Mali, two good opponents. Teams that are almost always at the Afcon and they have done well, especially Tunisia, at the World Cup,” Broos said.    

The coach expects all the opponents to be competitive, mentioning that Mali would have a slight home advantage being neighbours to the host country, while Namibia have shown improvements recently.    

“Mali is playing some kind of home game (in Ivory Coast) which is closer to the border of Mali, so yes, they will be very motivated. It will not be easy,” Broos said.    

“And you have Namibia, who maybe are the team that nobody expects (to go through from the group), but we played against them a few months ago and they are well organised.    

“It will be tough but there are some possibilities and if we can reach our best level then we have a chance to go through the group stages.”    

Before departing for Ivory Coast, Bafana will test themselves for the last time at home against Lesotho in a match that will be played behind closed doors at Lucas Moripe Stadium in Atteridgeville on Thursday, January 11.
