The South Africa U20 national team is on the brink of qualifying for the knockout rounds at the U20 World Cup. Amajita will be taking on USA U20 in their third match of Group E, looking to join their opponents in the next stage. Read on for our prediction.
South Africa did not have the perfect start at the competition but recovered from their 2-1 loss to France on matchday one, with a 5-0 thrashing of New Caledonia U20. That win moved them to second spot in the group.
The four best-ranked third-placed teams will also progress to the next stage, so South Africa avoiding defeat here could be enough.
The USA U20 have already qualified and should be looking to rest key players after bagging two wins in two matches. On matchday two, they saw off France U20 3-0, having earlier strolled past New Caledonia in a 9-1 win.
The USA are unbeaten in their last five matches, having won four in the process. The only one they failed to win was against another African nation, Morocco, a friendly match which ended 0-0.
The USA will be meeting South Africa for the first time, but their focus in this tournament is on bettering their fourth-place finish back in 1989.

Our South Africa -20 vs USA -20 Prediction
The USA have nothing much to play for on matchday three at the U20 World Cup when they entertain South Africa. Two wins in as many matches have already earned them a knockout phase place.
They will be expected to ring changes, which should be a good prospect for South Africa, who have to avoid defeat to have a chance at progression. We still feel the USA will have a strong enough side to hold off the African champions. Our prediction for the USA U20 v South Africa U20 is for a draw.
