Coach Justine Madugu will look to Ihezuo and Babajide for goals, while Nigeria’s backline, led by Ohale, Plumptre, and keeper Nnadozie, remains unbreached. South Africa, despite the absence of Thembi Kgatlana and the fatigue of extra time, still boast game-changers like Seoposenwe, Magaia, and Ramalepe.
Nigeria arrive as the form team, but South Africa have the upper hand in direct history and confidence from their recent upset. Our prediction leans toward a low-scoring, narrow match, possibly decided in extra time or penalties.
