Players who hold the key in tomorrow's clash

Zebras
Modiri Marumo
With most of Togo's strikers plying their trade in France, they could be a major threat to the Zebras' defence even in the absence of Emmanuel Adebayor. This is where the experience of Marumo will be vital.

Marumo has played in one of the most competitive leagues in Africa with Harass El Hodood in Egypt and has gained a lot of experience.  The good thing about the Zebras central defence of Mompati Thuma and Ndiyapo Letsholathebe is that they have been playing together for a long time and it will be easy for Marumo to communicate effectively with them.

Jerome Ramatlhakwana
Coach Stanley Tshosane took a big gamble when he called Ramatlhakwana to camp ahead of the national team's trip to Tunisia although the bustling striker had not been in action for a long time at Cape Town Santos, but it has worked. Many observers, including media analysts, questioned his call up but he has so far been the most prolific striker for the Zebras. Having scored a crucial goal in Tunisia, Ramatlhwakwana went on to register another important goal in Malawi. Before the Malawi game, he scored during a friendly match against Zimbabwe in Selebi-Phikwe. There is no doubt that he will be one of the key players in tomorrow's big clash. His physical presence is always felt and with Togo expected to play a physical game, Ramatlhakwana will be the ideal starter upfront.
