Eswatini hosts Angola in a crucial World Cup Qualification encounter that presents contrasting narratives. Eswatini, positioned at the bottom of Group D with just two points from eight matches, faces Angola who are fighting to keep their qualification hopes alive in the middle of the group standings.
