South Africa head coach Hugo Broos has stated that his team are aiming to avoid defeat against Ghana in the World Cup qualifiers.
Ghana head to the tie with three points after a narrow win over Ethiopia whilst South Africa have one point after a goalless draw with Zimbabwe.
In a presser ahead of the game, Broos highlighted the need for the side to stay in contention to qualify for the World Cup.
“You know, if you want to qualify, you have to win your home games and perhaps win one match outside [away from home]," he said.
“If you can do that, you will be very, very close to achieving your objective. So we are playing at home [on Monday], we will try to win the match."
“Even if we play a draw, Ghana would have four points, the team, maybe Zimbabwe, will also have four points. We would have two points, so we are still in the running even if we play a draw."
“Every game is important.We can play a draw on Monday and we would still stay in the running, and this is important. Not losing on Monday is the objective and it will always be good."
