Once again, Green Mamba captain Siyabonga ‘Msholozi’ Mdluli will lead the lines at the back, after a splendid showing on Friday. He will be tasked to bottle down the troublesome Tsepo Lekhoana who was a thorn in the flesh in the first game.
There is a possibility of Nhlanhla Gwebu making way for either Mphikeleli Dlamini or Sanda Mathabela in goals. The coach now knows the strength of the opposition, but players like Maqhawe Dlamini, Sanele Mkhweli and Sifiso Maseko are likely to retain their places in the starting eleven.
Meanwhile, Lesotho coach Matete Seephephe will also introduce a new team as he is on the building exercise.
Lesotho will be all out to win the game after missing numerous scoring chances on Friday. Seephephe will be hoping to win confidence from the supporters as he was appointed a week ago.
