Match Preview:
While it may seem unfair that South Africa find themselves in second place in Group C of CAF World Cup qualifying, they have nowhere else to look but within.

After fielding an ineligible player in a group game in March this year, FIFA docked three points from Bafana Bafana and added a forfeit score of 3-0 for that fixture.

As a result, it not only affected their points tally, but also their superior goal difference in the group, which leaders Benin have taken full advantage of.

Even so, South Africa’s World Cup fate was still solely in their hands; they simply needed to win their remaining two games, which were effectively on home soil, to book their spot at next year’s showpiece.

Rwanda’s role on Tuesday will be relegated to party spoilers, a job they failed to do last Friday when they lost 1-0 to Benin at home.  

The Wasps can not qualify for the World Cup now, which means they will likely want to cause an upset, just like Zimbabwe did last week.

The reality is, the Amavubi are in a good position to do just that, especially after they won the only prior meeting between the nations, which was the reverse fixture in this competition.

Match Prediction:
South Africa are favourites to win the game, since they are at home, but with Rwanda scoring just twice away from home in four games and blanking in their last three outings, Bafana Bafana may get the points they so crucially require.
