With only two games left, Bafana need wins and a strong goal count to keep their qualification chances alive.

This detail could prove decisive in the race for the coveted World Cup spot.

Currently languishing second on the log, Bafana Bafana’s path to the World Cup is fraught with challenges.

The requirement to score multiple goals is not just a statistical necessity but also a psychological imperative that could bolster the team’s confidence and galvanise their fans.

Players and coaching staff recognise the importance of scoring goals, making reliance on goal difference less critical. There are three players coach Hugo Broos can field in the attack to strike it rich in the striking zone.

Lyle Foster

The Burnley FC striker currently leads the Clarets’ attacking line, showing impressive form as the season unfolds. With 22 international caps and eight goals, Foster has become a key player in his team’s push for success this season.
