South Africa enters this match with a challenging recent form, having lost their only fixture in the tournament so far. They have not managed to score in their last match, which raises concerns about their attacking capabilities. With 13 days of rest since their last game, they should be well-prepared, but the lack of goals and a clean sheet could weigh heavily on their confidence. Fortunately, they have no injuries or suspensions to contend with.
