Everything you need to know about the Cape Verde vs Eswatini clash

Cape Verde/@camfoot

Cape Verde is playing a historic match against Eswatini. The Blue Sharks will qualify for the final stage of the World Cup for the first time in their history if they secure victory in this encounter.

The Cape Verdeans missed a chance on Matchday 9, conceding a draw against Libya (3-3). Now, there is no room for error if they want to fulfill the dream of an entire nation. Facing the group’s bottom team, Eswatini (3 points), the mission looks easy on paper, but underestimating the opponent could be costly.

Cameroon, who takes on Angola in the other crucial group match, will be hoping for a favor from Eswatini to win the group and qualify directly for America.
