Buoyant after their opening day draw, South Africa will have the confidence to once again match a side seemingly superior to them on paper. Uruguay will offer far more defensive discipline than the Mexicans did, and the Celeste are also liable to be a good deal more lethal in front of goal. However, the South Americans will not be so attacking in their approach, giving Bafana an opening in which to stamp their enthusiasm on the game. Back by a home crowd, this could well be Group A's third successive draw.
Watch South Africa vs Uruguay now!
After opening up the World Cup with a 1-1 draw against Mexico in a match that much of the remainder of the tournament has struggled to live up to, South Africa will aim to enhance their chances of qualification for the last 16 phase by defeating stuffy Uruguay in their second Group A encounter.
By no means did Bafana Bafana find their opening bow plain sailing. Weighed down by a burden of public expectation, Carlos Alberto Parreira's side struggled for form in the opening half. Mexico pushed forward aggressively, but because of a combination of poor finishing and fine goalkeeping from Itumeleng Khune, the game was goalless at the break. Siphiwe Tshabalala's opening goal remains one of the best strikes of the tournament to date, but it was not enough to claim the win as the Central Americans scrambled a late leveller.
South Africa are still very much in the hunt for qualification, and the squad is in upbeat mood. "We have two games [remaining] in our group, they are both very important," Khune said, according to FIFA's official website. "We respect both of them, but I know we can beat them. We played well against Mexico and we could have won the match, but it didn't happen. Our goal is to go to the knockout stages, and from there, anything can happen."
Bafana, just a few months before the competition began, felt as though they could be whipping boys, but the reappointment of their Brazilian coach seems to have galvanised the team, helping to set them up for a tilt at the last 16, and who knows, maybe more.
