They did, however, suffer two red cards at the Azteca. Yaya Sithole and Themba Zwane were given their marching orders, meaning both face a one-match suspension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Those absences, coupled with a toothless performance on match day 1, may result in a few changes for Bafana Bafana. They lacked firepower against Mexico, and that could see manager Molefi Ntseki hand starts to wingers Aswin Oppollis and Relebohile Mofokeng in a bid to spruce up their attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-czech-republic-vs-south-africa-predicted-lineups\">Czech Republic vs South Africa predicted lineups<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Czech Republic (4-2-3-1):<\/strong> Kovar; Coufal, Zima, Krejci, Jurasek; Soucek, Sadilek; Sulc, Hlozek, Provod; Schick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>South Africa (4-3-3):<\/strong> Williams; Mudau, Sibisi, Mbokazi, Modiba; Adams, Mokoena, Mbatha; Appollis, Foster, Mofokeng.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3><strong>Read more:<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none\">\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/football-tips\/world-cup-2026-betting-tips-predictions\/\"><strong>World Cup predictions &amp; tips<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/outright-markets\/world-cup-outright-odds\/\"><strong>World Cup outright odds <\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/news\/world-cup-2026-fixtures-results\/\"><b>World Cup fixtures &amp; results<\/b><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/world-cup-2026-betting-offers\/\"><b>World Cup free bets<\/b><\/a><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Czech Republic and South Africa play their second 2026 World Cup fixtures when the pair clash at 5pm UK time on Thursday 18th June.
