The South Africa team will challenge the Eswatini team in a FIFA Matchday Friendly Match in FNB Stadium Stadium, Johannesburg on Friday, October 13, 2023. For streaming coverage of South Africa vs Eswatini, preview and how to watch it, see in this article.
On Friday, 13 October 2023, at the FNB stadium there will be an important duel in the context of a friendly match between two countries, South Africa and Eswatini. South Africa, fresh from a 1-0 win over Congo in their last friendly, is ready to show their strength again.
A single goal in the 25th minute by Lyle Foster was the decisive winner for South Africa. On the other hand, Eswatini managed to pick up valuable points in a goalless draw against Burkina Faso in the 2023 AFCON qualifiers in September.
South Africa have two friendlies scheduled in this international break. They will face Cote d’Ivoire next week before meeting Benin and Rwanda in 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying in November.
Meanwhile, Eswatini will use this friendly match as preparation for their return to competitive action against Libya and Cape Verde next month.
In head-to-head encounters, the two teams have met nine times, with South Africa winning eight and drawing one. Their last meeting in July 2023 saw South Africa achieve a 2-1 comeback win in the COSAFA Cup.
Judging from various aspects, South Africa is the favorite to win. Bafana Bafana’s unbeaten record against their South African neighbors shows the difference in quality between the two teams. However, Eswatini achieved an unexpected draw against Burkina Faso in their last match, and the point will certainly boost their spirits.
This match is expected to be tight with few scoring opportunities. However, South Africa is predicted to achieve regular wins and also keep a clean sheet.
