Cape Verde Islands vs Eswatini Prediction: Odds, Tips & Insights

Welcome to our Cape Verde Islands vs Eswatini prediction for the upcoming World Cup - Qualification Africa match! Football fans, bettors, and anyone who enjoys a good underdog story will want to keep an eye on this encounter, set for October 13, 2025, at 16.910 GMT. Let’s break down the teams, their recent form, and the best betting odds so you can make smart choices—whether you’re a seasoned punter or just getting started in sports betting.

Team Form, Tactics, and What’s at Stake

The Cape Verde Islands, often simply called Cape Verde, are on the brink of history. With a win here, they could secure their first-ever World Cup qualification. Currently leading Group D with 20 points, Cape Verde have shown both grit and flair—five wins, two draws, and three losses so far. Their last match, a dramatic 3-3 draw against Libya, showed they can fight back even when the odds are stacked against them.

Eswatini, on the other hand, are sitting at the bottom of Group D. They have yet to taste victory in this qualification campaign, with five draws and five losses. Their most recent match saw them let a 2-0 lead slip away to draw 2-2 with Angola. It’s been a tough road for Eswatini, but drawing with a strong team like Angola shows they can surprise when least expected.

Head to Head and Team News

  • Head to head: Cape Verde have the upper hand, winning three and drawing two of their last five meetings with Eswatini. The last time they met, Cape Verde won 2-0 away.
  • Squad value: Cape Verde’s squad is valued at €27.20m, while Eswatini’s is just €1.05m—a big gap that’s hard to ignore in any Cape Verde Islands vs Eswatini prediction.
  • Coaching changes: Eswatini recently parted ways with coach Zdravko Logarusic. Sifiso Ntibane is now the acting head coach, with Ernest Mavuso as assistant. Many Eswatini players juggle football with day jobs, making their journey even more challenging.
  • Cape Verde’s approach: Under coach Bubista, Cape Verde focus on strong defense and quick transitions. They’re organized, disciplined, and make the most of their collective talent.
  • Key players: Justice Figuareido stood out for Eswatini with a brace against Angola, while Cape Verde’s balanced squad has been their strength all campaign.

Betting Odds, Predictions, and NerdyTips AI Insights

Let’s dive into the numbers and predictions to help you find the best value in sports betting for this match.

  1. 1x2 betting odds: Cape Verde are massive favorites at 1.14 for the home win. The draw is priced at 6.91, and an Eswatini win is a huge long shot at 21.0. The gap in squad value, recent form, and head to head record all point to a likely Cape Verde victory.
  2. Best tip from our AI: The top AI-generated tip is NG (at least one team will not score), with a confidence of 5.0/10 and odds of 1.29. This makes sense, as Cape Verde’s defense is solid and Eswatini have struggled to score against stronger teams.

  4. Recent surprises: Cape Verde’s 2-2 draw with Egypt (when they were big underdogs) and Eswatini’s comeback draw with Angola show that both teams can defy expectations, but the stats still favor the home side strongly here.

Final Cape Verde Islands vs Eswatini Prediction and Betting Tips

To sum up, all signs in our Cape Verde Islands vs Eswatini prediction point to a comfortable home win. Cape Verde’s defensive strength, home advantage, and motivation to make history are hard to bet against. Eswatini’s spirit is admirable, but the gulf in quality and experience is clear.
