Lesotho vs South Africa: What you need to know about the match
Lesotho find themselves in a difficult situation, fighting to break into the top two of their qualifying group. After six games, they have collected six points. With other teams in the group also lacking consistency, Lesotho sit in fifth place but trail the second-placed side by only two points. With four rounds still to play, every match will be crucial for Lesotho, and they must maximise their points haul.
The same can be said for South Africa, though their position is far more secure. After six matches, Bafana Bafana have earned 13 points and lead Group C. Their advantage over second place stands at five points, a comfortable cushion. Still, with four fixtures remaining, they cannot afford to ease off if they want to secure another World Cup appearance.
