South Africa U23 collect points across 5 straight matches
South Africa U23 have gone 5 matches without defeat, a run of real durability if not unbroken victory. Not once have the two sides faced each other, on the available record.
Madagascar U23 swept aside Comoros U23 3-0 last time out. Scant reward has come the hosts' way, with 3 points gathered from the last 15.
South Africa U23 have been miserly at the back, conceding only 3 across their last five matches. Algeria U23 and the visitors finished all square at 1-1 last time out, in a low-scoring game.
