Teams: Bafana v Malawi

Date: 22 December 2012

Venue: Moses Mabhida Stadium

Bafana Bafana will start their final bit of preparations for the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations on Saturday when they host Malawi at the Moses Mabhida Stadium.

Gordon Igesund’s men are widely expected to grab a morale-boosting win in the match, and Igesund is taking the chance to give some other players a chance.

The Bafana coach has stuck with some of his regulars, while also adding some others into the fold.

In goal, Senzo Meyiwa will have to wait for his chance as Itumeleng Khune starts between the sticks while Bevan Fransman and Siyabonga Sangweni will start in defence.

Sifiso Myeni will start after his bright performances for Orlando Pirates, while Oupa Manyisa and Reneilwe Letsholonyane will look to control midfield.

Siphiwe Tshabalala and Lerato Chabangu will be looking to add support to striker Lehlohonolo Majoro who starts upfront.

This is how they line up:

Bafana: Itumeleng Khune, Siboniso Gaxa, Siyabonga Sangweni, Bevan Fransman, Thabo Matlaba, Sifiso Myeni, Siphiwe Tshabalala, Reneilwe Letsholonyane, Oupa Manyisa, Lerato Chabangu, Lehlohonolo Majoro.

Malawi: Simplex Nthalal, Steve Chagoma, Moses Chavula, James Sangala, Davie Banda, Harry Nyirenda, Joseph Kamwendo, Robin Ngalande, Chimango Kayira, Robert Ngambi, Atusaye Nyondo.
