“We’ve given the players a few things to think about going into this game‚ both mentally and tactically‚” Baxter said of Bafana’s training sessions this week.
Bafana need a draw from the final Group E qualifier at Stade Taieb Mhiri in Sfax‚ and Libya a win‚ to reach Egypt 2019.
The South Africans extended their stay in Tunis‚ 270-kilometres from Sfax – where they had camped since their arrival in Tunisia on Sunday – by a day from Thursday to Friday. This was because Bafana had been under the impression they could have two training sessions at the match venue‚ but instead were ultimately only allowed one – on Saturday – so delayed their three-and-a-half-hour bust trip to the coastal city to Friday.They have also experienced varying weather conditions in Tunisia‚ coach Stuart Baxter has said‚ from hot on their arrival in the North African winter to windy‚ to rainy.
The forecast for Sunday in Sfax is for dry‚ partly cloudy conditions and 18 degrees Celsius in the day‚ though in the evening‚ when they play at 6pm Tunisian time ‚ that could drop to a football-friendly 10 degrees C.
