South Africa will host Zimbabwe in the fifth round of matches in the second stage of qualifiers for the 2022 World Cup in the Africa region. The two are in Group G, where South Africa tops with 10 points and Zimbabwe are bottom with one point. South Africa have three straight wins going to this game and are unbeaten in their last 11. In the 11 matches, they have eight wins and their only loss in 15 matches was against Sudan, a 2-0 reverse in Khartoum. South Africa have to win this to stay top ahead of Ghana, who face Ethiopia. Their last meeting with Zimbabwe ended in a 0-0 draw and they head to this game with four clean sheets in their last five matches. At home, they are unbeaten in 15 matches.

Zimbabwe’s race for qualification to the third stage is over. Their only point so far was in the draw with South Africa and it will be a shocker if they can repeat that in South Africa. They have no win in nine matches, losing six of them and failing to score in six. They’ve managed just three clean sheets in the last 10 matches and have conceded two or more goals in five of their last 10. Away from home, Zimbabwe have four straight losses and are winless in six. Their only win in 16 matches in World Cup qualification was against the low-ranking Somalia. Away from home in these qualifiers, Zimbabwe have no win in 12 and have lost each of the last five. In three competitive matches that they’ve had against South Africa, Zimbabwe have two losses and a draw.
