Johannesburg – Bafana Bafana will face Senegal at the Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane for their second match of the 2018 Fifa World Cup Russia qualifiers on November 12 (kick-off 3pm).

Bafana Bafana head coach Ephraim Shakes Mashaba is expected to announce the squad to face Senegal later this week.

South Africa played to a 1-1 all draw against Burkina Faso in the opening round of the qualifiers held in Ouagadougou earlier in October.

In the other match on the same day, Senegal defeated Cape Verde 2-0 in Dakar to go top in Group D, two points ahead of both Bafana Bafana and Burkina Faso, while Cape Verde lies in fourth place.

After next month’s matches, the qualifiers will take a break until September 2017 when Bafana Bafana travel to Cape Verde.
