The young Lions side is brimming with youngsters who caught the eye during the national Under 21 tournament that was held at Emirates Airline Park last year and coaches Mzwikhe Nkosi and Wessel Roux have full confidence in their charges.

Changes from last week are therefore not due to any players being demoted, but rather another opportunity to scrutinize and test everyone.

Kick-off is at 16:45.
