Johannesburg - Bafana Bafana defender Morgan Gould is anticipating a difficult clash against Tanzania in Dar es Salaam on Saturday.
The South African national team travel to East Africa for a friendly encounter as head coach Pitso Mosimane prepares his side for the massive AFCON qualifier against Egypt next month.
Gould believes the African football minnows will provide his side with a real test and is guarding against complacency ahead of the trip.
"We are going to be focused because they will be out to prove a point," the SuperSport United skipper told The Sowetan.
"Teams ranked as low as Tanzania are difficult to play against because they have nothing to lose.
"Whereas a match against a higher ranked team would be very tactical, this one will be interesting because (Tanzania) will come out guns blazing."
The encounter at the National Stadium in Dar es Salaam is due to kick-off at 18:00 South African time on Saturday.
