The South Africa-Morocco match is set to take place in Durban on the third day of Group A matches. South Africa, the host country of CAN 2013 and the group leader with 4 points, is in a good position to secure a spot in the quarter-finals. After a slow start with a goalless draw against Cape Verde, Bafana Bafana bounced back with a 2-0 victory over Angola.
Morocco, another favorite in the group, has struggled to find success so far, earning two draws against Angola (0-0) and Cape Verde (1-1). A win in the upcoming match against South Africa would significantly improve Morocco’s chances of advancing to the quarter-finals.
The second match on January 27 features Cape Verde against Angola in Port Elizabeth. Angola, with only one point, cannot afford any more setbacks, while Cape Verde will aim for its first victory after two consecutive draws.
