Botswana Form

Botswana found the back of the net after two minutes of play against Cape Verde away from home in their Africa Cup of Nations qualification, which was the winning goal, as their hosts squandered multiple chances to score during the remainder of the contest.

In September, Botswana lost 1-0 against Mauritania and 4-0 against Egypt in two AFCON qualifiers.

The Zebras have recorded two victories in their last five matches, including three losses. They scored four goals and conceded seven.

Botswana have won three of their last five home games, including two losses. They scored six goals and conceded nine.

Botswana will be pleased to have secured the first three points of their qualifying campaign after their victory against Cape Verde and have been in decent nick on home soil. Can they win again?

Cape Verde Form

Cape Verde dominated proceedings against Botswana in their recent AFCON qualifier, having numerous chances to score, but their finishing let down, losing 1-0 at home last week.

Cape Verde contested two Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers the previous month, losing 3-0 against Egypt before beating Mauritania 2-0.

Cape Verde have won two of their last five games, including three losses. They scored four goals and let in eight at the back.

The Blue Sharks have secured two wins in their last five away fixtures, including three losses. They scored three goals and conceded seven.

Cape Verde will rue the chances they missed in their previous clash against Botswana and must be clinical to get the result in the return match, as they have lacked consistency on their travels.
