Before that, Banyana Banyana defeated Algeria 1-0 and 2-0, respectively, in April this year.

At this year's COSAFA Cup, South Africa defeated Malawi 2-0, Angola 1-0 and drew 1-1 with Lesotho during the group stages. They subsequently beat Zimbabwe 4-2 on penalties in the semi-finals after the score ended 1-1 before losing 2-1 to Namibia in the final.

Banyana Banyana have won three of their last five fixtures, with two defeats. They scored five goals and conceded seven.

South Africa have been in solid form, having won four of their last six matches, and they have consistently defeated Tanzania in recent clashes, with two victories in their previous three games and one draw.
