South Africa and Guinea lock horns at a neutral Guldensporen Stadion in Belgium for an international friendly.
Bafana Bafana are looking to recover from a defeat to Ghana in their last outing which ended their long unbeaten run.
But more importantly, it also put an end to their World Cup qualification hopes as the Black Stars progressed into the third round by virtue of having scored more goals after finishing level on points with them.
Guinea, meanwhile, return to action for the first time since their disappointing Africa Cup of Nations campaign in January.
The National Elephants were knocked out in the round of 16 by Gambia and won just once - in the opening match against Malawi.
South Africa vs Guinea Head-To-Head
There have only been four previous clashes between the sides, with South Africa going unbeaten in all of them and never conceding a single goal to Guinea.
Bafana have also won each of their last two encounters against Guinea, including a 1-0 victory in September 2008, the last time these sides faced each other.
