Ranked 58th worldwide, Bafana is determined to improve their position by defeating both teams.

Bafana’s first opponents, Andorra are ranked 164th in the world and Broos’ men should not have too much difficulty in beating the Europeans.

Algeria’s match will test the South Africans and also gauge their readiness ahead of their World Cup qualifier matches against Nigeria and Zimbabwe later this year.

Broos’ men sit second in their group having lost to Rwanda last year.
