Cape Verde vs Eswatini Prediction & Betting Tips

Cape Verde vs Eswatini Match Preview

Cape Verde have already sealed qualification for the 2026 World Cup, but momentum and pride are still on the line.

The Blue Sharks have been the most consistent side in Group D, unbeaten in their last seven qualifiers and showing balance at both ends. Eswatini arrive with nothing left to play for after a poor campaign that exposed their defensive weaknesses.

Cape Verde’s Home Dominance Underlines Their Class

Cape Verde come into this match on the back of a 3-1 win over Libya which confirmed top spot in the group. Before that, they edged Cameroon 1-0 and had comfortable victories over Mauritius and Malaysia. The Blue Sharks have scored in all nine qualifiers, reflecting their attacking rhythm and composure in tight moments. Defensively, they have also stood firm, conceding only eight goals. With strong home backing and confidence flowing, they look well positioned to finish their campaign on a high.

Eswatini’s Away Form Remains a Major Concern

Eswatini’s qualifying journey has been one to forget, with defeats piling up across the group stage. They lost 3-0 to Libya and 4-0 to Cameroon, both showing how fragile they can be against organized teams. The visitors have yet to record an away win in the qualifiers and have conceded in every game. Their attack lacks penetration, with just six goals scored in nine outings. Facing the section’s best team away from home leaves little hope for an upset.
