Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos has announced his starting XI to face Mozambique on Thursday evening.

South Africa take on the No. 114 in the FIFA World ranking at Mbombela Stadium, kick off 21:30.

The two countries faced each other in the quarter-final of the COSAFA Cup, when a youthful South Africa lost on penalties.

Overall, South Africa have beaten six times since 2008, with Bafana winning four of the contests.

Broos side enter the game on the back of two wins over Sierra Leone (4-0) and Botswana (1-0), while Mozambique are unbeaten in four games in their Africa Cup of Nations qualification group, picking up a 1-0 win and a goalless draw against Zambia, before drawing twice with Malawi.
