Liberia vs South Africa Prediction: A difficult win for Bafana Bafana

On Tuesday, Liberia will play South Africa in a qualifying match for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations. The match will take place at the Samuel Kanyon Doe Sports Complex in Monrovia.

In the first leg of this competition, Sangare came off the bench and scored an equalizer in the 91st minute to force a split of the spoils with South Africa. Liberia and South Africa are currently tied for first place in Group K with one point apiece after two games. Despite this, Liberia currently holds the third spot in the group since they have scored more goals away from home. The most recent five matches that Liberia has played in all competitions have resulted in just one victory, two draws, and two losses for the team. The west African team has only competed in the AFCON tournament twice before, but they are currently in contention to compete for a third time, which would be their first appearance in the tournament since 2002.

Bafana Bafana squandered a two-goal advantage in the first leg of this contest. After only 22 minutes of play, the home team led 2-0 thanks to a brace scored by Lyle Foster in the first half. But, after halftime, the Lone Stars turned things around and started clawing their way back into the game. This caused a shift in the game's momentum. Tonia Tisdell scored a goal in the 68th minute to cut the lead in half, but they needed another goal to salvage a point. Just before the hour mark, Mohammed Sangare scored the goal that gave them the point. In the meantime, South Africa needs a victory to improve their prospects of qualifying for the tournament following their absence in 2019, which was the year of their most recent appearance.

Both teams will go for the win here because their last qualifying match is against Morocco, which is already in the tournament, currently leading their group, and is considered a heavyweight in the competition. Nonetheless, South Africa displayed quality in their first leg before displaying lackluster performances in the later minutes of the match. Because of this, we are confident that they will not slack off this time, and as a result, you should bet on South Africa to win.
