- Cabo Verde have won five and drawn one of their last six World Cup qualifying matches in Cabo Verde.
- Cabo Verde have not conceded a goal in their previous four home matches in the current World Cup qualifying campaign.
- Eswatini are without a win in their last 13 World Cup qualifying matches (D5 L8). Their last FWCQ victory was a 2-1 home win against Djibouti in October 2015.
Cape Verde vs Eswatini Prediction
Cape Verde have never played at a FIFA World Cup but they have been very impressive in this qualifying campaign and a 1-0 defeat of Cameroon last month has left them in pole position to make it to North America in the summer of 2026.
They could have achieved the feat the other day with a victory over Libya but stumbled to a point in a game in which they had found themselves both 1-0 and then 3-1 down in Benghazi.
They fought back to salvage a draw and leave themselves in a position whereby a defeat of a very poor Eswatini side will secure automatic qualification for the tournament.
Eswatini are among the weakest sides in African international football and they should not have remotely enough to prevent a party from taking place across the Cape Verde Islands.
