Angola vs Cape Verde Predictions

Angola are a very tough side to beat both home and away. They have avoided defeat in 15 of their last 16 games and I don’t see Cape Verde overturning that. There is value on the hosts in the double chance market.

Angola are unbeaten in 15 of their last 16 matches.
Angola have drawn 4 of their last 5 World Cup qualifiers.
Angola have seen under 2.5 goals in 8 of their last 9 matches.
Cape Verde have won 3 of their last 5 World Cup qualifiers.
Cape Verde have lost 3 of their last 5 matches.

Head to Head

In five previous encounters, Cape Verde have won two, Angola one and there have been two draws.

Angola Form

Angola will be very disappointed with their efforts in World Cup qualification thus far. They have managed just one win in five matches despite being unbeaten with four draws.

After five fixtures, Angola are fourth with seven points, but still within one win of all top three. Should they beat the table topping Cape Verde here, this group could get very interesting.

In their last 16 matches in all competitions, Angola have only lost once. That came against Lesotho with a severely weakened side. However, Angola blew a good chance to climb the table with a 1-1 draw against Libya last week. Fredy scored an equaliser in the 90th minute to at least salvage a point.

Angola’s form is good despite not getting as many wins as they’d like. They will, however, likely make changes to their side for this clash.

Cape Verde Form

Cape Verde are top of Group D with 10 points, three clear of their opponents in fourth while second and third are on nine and eight points.

Defeat here will almost certainly drop them down the rankings in Group D. Last week Cape Verde defeated Mauritius 1-0 at home.

The performance was not particularly convincing but an 84th minute Yannick Semedo goal secured the crucial three points.

Last week was a struggle which means Cape Verde are likely to make changes after traveling to Angola.

Verdict

Angola v Cape Verde

Angola are backed to win or draw at the very least. I am predicted under 2.5 goals either way.
