Zimbabwe face South Africa in their final Group B fixture at the Africa Cup of Nations, with both teams still pushing for a place in the knockout stage.
The Warriors are without a win in the competition, while Bafana Bafana are looking to recapture the performance from their opening fixture.
Zimbabwe came from behind to earn a 1-1 draw by Angola in their previous fixture, with Knowledge Musona’s effort earning them a share of the spoils. The result means Mario Marinica's team remain without a win after losing 2-1 to Egypt in their opening fixture.
It is not yet doom and gloom for Zimbabwe, who can put themselves in the mix as one of the best third-placed teams. However, their recent form has been poor, with just one win from their last nine matches in all competitions.
South Africa suffered a 1-0 defeat to Egypt in their previous fixture after conceding a first-half penalty. Manager Hugo Broos will be disappointed as his team saw more of the possession and created several chances.
Bafana Bafana are second in the table and can qualify for the knockout stage with victory on Monday. Friday's result will be considered a minor setback, having won their previous four matches, including a 2-1 victory over Angola in their opening Group B fixture.
How the bookies view it: South Africa overwhelming favourites
South Africa have been installed as overwhelming favourites among the bookies and priced at 7/10 by bet365 to claim the win. Zimbabwe are considered outsiders, with a victory valued at 4/1 by William Hill while bet365 are offering odds of 13/5 for a draw.
Head to head: South Africa on top
South Africa have a 7-3 advantage, with two draws from the last 12 matches against Zimbabwe. The last meeting between both teams came in the 2016 FIFA World Cup qualifiers as they battled to a 0-0 draw.
Players to watch: Eyes on Appollis
Oswin Appollis is slowly building a reputation as a forward and has scored four goals in the last four matches for South Africa. He will be the one to watch on Monday (Oswin Appollis anytime goalscorer – valued at 11/4 on bet365).
Musona was on target for Zimbabwe last time out and will be tasked with providing the attacking spark once again. The forward could be worth keeping an eye on (Knowledge Musona anytime goalscorer – priced at 9/2 by bet365).
Probable line-ups:
Musona missed Zimbabwe’s opening fixture but scored on his return to the team last time out. He should feature in attack once again, while Marvelous Nakamba is set to start at the back.
South Africa have no injuries or suspensions and are unlikely to ring in the changes on Monday. Appollis and Lyle Foster should continue in attack while Teboho Mokoena is set to feature in midfield.
Zimbabwe: Arubi, Takwara, Nakamba, Hadebe, Jalal, Dube, Fabisch, Antonio, Lunga, Bonne, Musona.
South Africa: Williams, Mudau, Ngezana, Mbokazi, Modiba, Mbatha, Mokoena, Sithole, Moremi, Foster, Appollis.
Anything else catch the eye?
Both teams have scored in Zimbabwe's last four matches (BTTS YES – offered at 5/4 by bet365). Three of those fixtures have also produced over 2.5 goals – available at odds of 27/20 by bet365.
