Cape Verde and Botswana are set to clash in an exciting Africa Cup of Nations, Qualification, Group C match on October 10, 2024. The game is scheduled to kick off at 16:00 UTC and will be hosted at the National Stadium in Praia, Cape Verde.
Cape Verde, currently ranked 2nd in the group, has had a mixed start to their qualification campaign. After a 0-3 defeat to Egypt in their opening match, they bounced back with a solid 2-0 victory over Mauritania. This win has placed them in a strong position, trailing group leaders Egypt by three points.
On the other hand, Botswana is struggling at the bottom of the group with no points from their first two matches. They suffered a narrow 0-1 loss to Mauritania and a more convincing 0-4 defeat to Egypt. Botswana’s recent form has been bleak, with the team failing to score in their last three matches and experiencing four consecutive losses.
The match is expected to be a one-sided affair, with Cape Verde favored to win. The hosts have a strong home record, having not conceded in 5 of their last 6 home games. In contrast, Botswana has not scored in 5 of their last 6 away games, including their last 5 Cup of Nations, Qualification away matches.

Predictions suggest that Cape Verde will likely secure a win, possibly with a scoreline of 2-0, given their recent form and home advantage. The match is also expected to be low-scoring, with both teams adopting a pragmatic approach.
