Cape Verde vs Angola
Date: 16/11/2023
Time: 19:00 UTC
Venue: Estádio Nacional de Cabo Verde
Cape Verde have been having vulnerabilities in defense conceding in their last 4 games and registering over 2,5 match goals. The last encounter these two sides met was in 2013 and Cape Verde won 2-1. With both teams having poor defense lines we expect this to be a high goal scoring contest, Bookmaker Ratings predict over 2,5 match goals in this FIFA World Cup Qualifiers – CAF match.
Prediction #1: Over 2,5 match goals
Angola have drawn in 3 of their last 4 outings with the latest 0-0 draw against DR Congo in October, Cape Verde are winless in their last 3 games in all competitions. With both teams in poor form and defense lines, Bookmaker Ratings predict a high scoreline draw of 2-2.
Prediction #2: Draw
Cape Verde enters this match on a 3 winless streak in all competitions including a huge 5-1 defeat by Algeria and 2-1 loss to Comoros in October. Cape Verde are on a poor run of form with vulnerable defense and weak attacking front.
On the other hand Angola have drawn in three of their last four games in all competitions including a 1-1 draw against Mozambique and a goalless draw against DR Congo in October. Angola has a more solid defense than Cape Verde but their attacking front has been toothless in recent games failing to get a win in their last 4 games.

Cape Verde: Vozinha, Steve, Diney, Patrick, JP Fernandes, khristopher, Leandro, Kenny, Diodo, Bebe, Helio
