The Super Eagles of Nigeria will play against the 'Bafana Bafana' of South Africa in a Mandela challenge match today.
The reigning African champions will be making a memorable return to the rainbow nation where they won the African cup of nations in February. The two teams also met in November 2004,but South Africa emerged 2-1 winners over an under-strength Nigerian squad.
Notable players like John Mikel Obi and Emmanuel Emenike won't be available for tonight's match.
Several players of Orlando Pirates won't be in action for Gordon Igesund's men due to their CAF champions league match that will be played against Zamalek on Sunday.
Nigeria is currently ranked 35 in the world while South Africa is outside the top 60.
Sola Amoebi and Victor Moses are some of the star players to watch out for tonight.
Prediction: South Africa 2-3 Nigeria
