Botswana vs Cape Verde Preview

Botswana pulled off a shock 1-0 away win against Cape Verde in the first leg to revive their campaign in Group C. With three rounds of matches to conclude the qualifiers, there is no more room for error. The hosts will be keen to wrap up the two matches against Cape Verde on a bright note, following their success in the first leg.

Dipitse have won twice in 12 outings this year, as they push to make a return to the continental scene. They made their Afcon debut in 2012, crashing out in the group stage, and have not earned qualification since then. With Egypt (nine points) likely to claim the top spot, Botswana and Cape Verde are vying for second place.

Cape Verde defeated Mauritania 2-0 at home on matchday two and were hoping to claim their second win but suffered a setback against Botswana. Tumisang Orebonye of Moroccan side AS FAR put Botswana ahead early in the second minute. Cape Verde toiled in vain across the remainder of the meeting to pull level.

Crioulos made their fourth Afcon appearance at the 2023 edition in Cote D’Ivoire earlier this year, reaching the quarterfinals and finishing as the fifth-placed team. They are determined to qualify for the upcoming edition, but must return to winning ways to achieve that goal. They will face Egypt on matchday five.
