South Africa host Kenya at Orlando Amstel Arena in a Friday evening Group D 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier, which sees a reunion between Pitso Mosimane and Benni McCarthy.

Mosimane is back at Bafana Bafana for a second stint as head coach, while McCarthy -- South Africa's record goalscorer -- is the Harambee Stars boss.

South Africa top Group D with six points from their first two games. Kenya are bottom with only one, but will qualify automatically as co-hosts with Tanzania and Uganda. Therefore, South Africa need to finish above both Guinea and Eritrea.

South Africa will meet Kenya again in Nairobi on Nov. 17.

Guinea beat Eritrea 2-1 on Thursday to go onto six points from three games ahead of Bafana's Friday clash with the Harambee Stars, but South Africa still top the group. They beat Guinea 2-1 and therefore have a superior head-to-head record, and also a better goal difference.
