This double header fixtures for 2019 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON Qualifiers) could just be the decider for the country that will eventually go ahead to qualify. Though, South Africa games against Seychelles seems more like an easier task for Bafana Bafana to go on top of the group. 

Super Eagles of Nigeria need at least a win and a draw to still stand any chance of qualifying... and Gernot Rohr as list a 22 man list to do the job.

Meanwhile, Libya occupies top position in Group E of the 2019 AFCON qualifier with four points from two games. South Africa is second with same number of points but have an inferior goal difference.
