With their Fifa World Cup fate on the line, Bafana Bafana will head into their final Group A clash against South Korea knowing that a victory would all but secure their place in the knockout rounds for the first time in their history.
Kick-off is at 3am SA time.
A draw in Guadeloupe may still be enough to send South Africa through as one of the tournament’s eight best third-placed finishers, but that would likely mean an anxious wait until Saturday when the group stage concludes.
Instead, Bafana are expected to go all out for the win, even though the odds appear stacked against them.
