As e be na football matter, dem dey prepare for big matching wey go shake ground for Estadio Nacional de Cabo Verde this Tuesday evening. Cape Verde and Cameroon dey ready to face each other for top-of-the-table clash for Group D of the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
Dis match no be joke oh! Only one point dey separate both teams, and dem go fight to carry the automatic qualification waka come home. Cape Verde dey shine like star with dem last win wey dem take 2-0 waka pass Mauritius last Thursday, thanks to Jovane Cabral wey no wan hear word and another player wey no wan make we forget.
Bubista’s men don collect five wins out of seven qualifiers, only suffer one loss and draw once. Dem get nine goals wey dem don score while dem concede five, so dem dey in form. Dem dey lead Group D and dey look to extend dat winning run against Cameroon wey no wan gree talk say dem go lose.
Cameroon, on top of their side, dey come after dem show Eswatini pepper with 3-0 last time. Even with dem early own goal, Georges-Kevin N’Koudou and Arthur Avom show dem no be small fire when dem drop goal for dem side. Dis Indomitable Lions no fit lose in di group stage, dem don get 15 points from seven matches, with four wins and three draws.

But make we no forget Cape Verde self, dem dey strong for home game, and dem get serious plan. History don dey show say Cameroon dey win most of their encounters with Cape Verde, but dis one wey dem dey prepare go sabi how e go turn out.
For Cape Verde to win, dem go need all hand on deck. Vozinha go dey for goal, while Roberto Lopes and Diney go hold back that defence tight. Kevin Pina and di rest of dem go need to prove say wetin dem dey do na correct matter.
