Soccerzela vs Soccermag: Who starts for Bafana against Eritrea?

Soccermag and Soccerzela go head to head with their predicted starting XIs for Wednesday's AFCON qualifier against Eritrea in Cairo.

Soccermag’s XI (4-3-3)

Williams; Sebelebele, Okon, Makhanya, Kabini; Sithole, Mofokeng, Aubaas; Maseko, Rayners, Appollis

Soccermag stick with the spine that started against Guinea, with Sebelebele and Kabini at full-back either side of Okon and Makhanya.

Sithole and Aubaas sit either side of Mofokeng in a midfield three, with Maseko and Appollis providing width and Iqraam Rayners leading the line.

Soccerzela’s selection is nearly identical, with the same back four, the same midfield three, and Mofokeng again in the number 10 role.

The only difference between the two teams comes up front, where Soccerzela back Yanela Mbuthuma to lead the line ahead of Rayners.
