Team News

South Africa
Italy
  • Kholosa Biyana is out of this match due to yellow card accumulation.
  • Refiloe Jane is out due to injury.
  • Barbara Bonansea and Arianna Caruso are both on yellow cards and will miss the next match if they pick up another.

Prediction

  • Italy have the upper hand in this match even after suffering a heavy defeat to Sweden in the last round. They managed to beat Argentina in the first round and a win here would see them through.
  • South Africa are in the same position as Argentina and would need to win and the other match to go their way. They are without captain Refiloe Jane, who was stretchered off in their match against Argentina and her replacement Kholosa Biyana picked up two yellows in two matches, and so is suspended for this match.
  • The odds are against Banyana Banyana so expect it to be close but Italy to ultimately win and get through to the knockout rounds.
