BAFANA Banafa coach Hugo Broos is targeting a win against the Warriors in their 2026 Group Bafana C Fifa World Cup qualifier in Bloemfontein, South Africa on Tuesday evening.
South Africa first take on Nigeria away from home before they return for a Cosafa derby against neighbours Zimbabwe.
The Belgian mentor is targeting at least a draw against Nigeria and three points against Zimbabwe.
Bafana defender Nkosinathi Sibisi and striker Iqraam Rayners agreed the South Africans need to show strong mentality to come back from Nigeria with a positive result.
“Games likes these are difficult but we go with the right mentality because I can see we have good players — everyone believes in themselves. If we can get a win, I will be happy and from there we will focus on the next game,” Rayners said. “The coach said he wants at least four points from the two matches against Nigeria and Zimbabwe but you never know, we can get all the six points."
The Warriors play Lesotho in Johannesburg tomorrow before the Bafana Bafana showdown.
