Ethiopia vs South Africa 09.10.2021

South Africa who are top of Group G in the African World Cup qualifying zone will square up to Ethiopia for a chance to remain in the Driver’s seat in the group.

The two sides are separated by a single point and a win for the hosts will see them overhaul South Africa. However, it will not be a straightforward battle as South African appears to be rejuvenated under Hugo Broos.
