South Africa vs Namibia team news
South Africa
A 2-0 loss to Mali in the first round of Group E puts South Africa in a tough spot since they now pretty much have to beat Namibia to stay in the race for the next stage. Based on their performance in the first round, that won't be an easy task for them, but the quality is there and they are seen as the favourites in this match, although it's safe to say that the team is really missing their top scorer Lyle Foster, who withdraw from the squad for personal reasons ahead of the tournament.
Predicted Lineup: Williams – Mobbie, Mvala, Xulu, Modiba – Mayambela, Mokoena, Sithole, Tau – Lepasa, Makgopa
Namibia
Probably the biggest surprise of the tournament so far was Namibia's win over Tunisia in the first round. After all, Tunisia are the main favourites to win Group E, while Namibia were given the lowest chances to do so. Still, great defence in that game helped Namibia keep a clean sheet and then a late strike from Hotto got them all three points and first win at AFCON in national team's history.
Predicted Lineup: Kazapua – Nyambe, Amutenya, Haukongo, Hanuman – Petrus, Iimbondi, Tijueza, Shitembi, Hotto – Shalulile
Confirmed South Africa vs Namibia lineups will appear here around 60 minutes before kickoff.

Player to watch: Percy Tau
We already said that we can see this match ending without any goals, but if there's a player who could prove us wrong, it's Percy Tau. South Africa's forward is one of the team's key offensive weapons and while he missed a penalty in the first round, he is usually reliable, as is evident from the fact that he is the team's top scorer with 15 goals.
