Tanzania have done well drawing with DRC away, but I think Benin will get points off them. I don't see Tanzania coming out ahead of Benin and DRC.

Bafana looked much better than Ghana, and even had a good goal taken away. If they somehow manage to get at least 4 points against Ethiopia, they might just scrape through. Won't bet on Bafana though, as they are a Yo-yo team.

AS of today?

Nigeria
Senegal
Algeria
Morocco
Tunisia

But I am not sure when FIFA will do the draw because the third round match ups will be played after the AFCON 2021! Things can change at the AFCON!

Thought it is round-robin or am I mistaken?

It is a playoff, like in 2014.

Burkina Faso just equalized against Algeria. IF they hold on today, there is a good chance that group goes to the last match day. Niger and Djibouti are both very weak. Stallions have Djibouti home and away and then Niger at home after this one.

It would be a monumental upset if B Faso can pull it off. But they did take the game to Algeria for sure

Are they planning to do that stupid ‘zoning’ (west, east, North Africa etc) or is it a straight draw of Pot 1 vs Pot 2 teams?
