Former Bafana Bafana goalkeeper Itumeleng Khune believes Hugo Broos’ men can beat Panama 4-0 on Tuesday in Cape Town.
Bafana will host the 34th-ranked nation in the second of their two friendly matches at DHL Stadium on Tuesday after drawing 1-1 at Moses Mabhida Stadium on Friday.
It was a wasteful outing for Bafana, who missed several good scoring opportunities while Panama scored from one of their two shots at goal.
Khune reiterated the fact that Bafana were in top in Friday’s match, leading him to his bold prediction for Tuesday.
“Remember Panama only got two chances from Bafana Bafana mistakes – one they scored and the other one hit the post,” he said on SABC3.
“Without those chances, they didn’t create anything.
“So Bafana Bafana deserves to win easily on Tuesday by four goals to zero.”
Khune then also urged the current crop of players to start preparing for the tournament in Mexico, Canada and the United States.
“A win will make the nation proud because it’s the last preparation match before the big World Cup – there are no other preparation matches in between,” he added.
“So the players better take good care of themselves, leading into the World Cup. They’re gonna need when they get there, different altitude, different weather conditions – so they need to prepare themselves very well mentally, physically and emotionally.”
