South Africa takes on the visitors Cape Verde at “Moses Mabhida Stadium” in the gameweek four of the Third stage of the Confederation of African Football's Preliminary Competition for the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia. The match will be played in Durban on Tuesday, September 5th.
It is a real overturn happening now in the African Football's Preliminary Competition as the leaders stay under the risk of not qualifying for the Mundial. Last Friday South Africa lost 1:2 to Cape Verde on the road and currently shares the first-second places with Burkina Faso, having taken four points with 4-4 goal difference. The team's no-win series counts for three clashes. It should be noted that South Africa played one encounter at the home field in the on-going qualification, having beaten Senegal 2:1.

Cape Verde doesn’t belong to the leaders of the African football. Having lost two starting matches of the qualifying campaign, the side sensationally broke South Africa 2:1 in front of its supporters which allowed it to interfere into the race for winning the Group D. At the moment “Tubaroes Azuis” share the third-fourth positions with Senegal, having earned three points with 2-5 goal difference.
South Africa is considered to be the favourite in the forthcoming clash and the recent defeat on the road must add angry and desire to beat its offenders. Otherwise the team's chances to pass to the Mundial would lower dramatically, especially bearing in mind that comparing the sides' experience and class is going beyond as South Africa footballers play in European clubs with vast experience in performing at the World Cups while Cape Verde is not among the continent's best teams.
Prediction for the match: South Africa to win.
