Liberia vs South Africa Prediction and Betting Tips | March 28, 2023

Liberia host South Africa at the Samuel Kanyon Doe Sports Complex in Monrovia on Tuesday (March 28) in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.

The two sides played out an entertaining 2-2 draw on Friday (March 24), which saw the Bafana Bafana squander a two-goal lead. A first-half brace from Lyle Foster had the hosts 2-0 up inside 22 minutes as Hugo Broos' side were on their way to victory.

However, the momentum changed after the break when the Lone Stars turned the screw and clawed their way back into the game. Tonia Tisdell halved the deficit in the 68th minute, but they still needed another goal to eke out a point, and cometh the hour, cometh Mohammed Sangare.

The Liberian No.20 came off the bench and popped up with a 91st-minute equaliser to force a share of the spoils. After two games in Group K, Liberia and South Africa are now level on points with one apiece from two games, with the former third by virtue of more away goals scored.

Having made only two appearances in the AFCON finals, the west African side are on course for their third and a first appearance since 2002. Meanwhile, South Africa, looking to return to the tournament after their last stint in 2019, need a win to boost their qualifying chances.
