MATCH PREDICTION

This game is being played at the neutral venue of Estadio do Zimpeto in Mozambique due to issues in Somalia. Rachid Lousteque’s Somali team has had a tough start to their 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification campaign, coming into this match on the back of a defeat to Mozambique. This extends their winless streak to 14 matches since December 2019.

Botswana also faced frustration recently, as Uganda edged them out with a 1-0 victory. Botswana has failed to score in their last three matches and hasn’t scored more than a single goal in their last six. Despite these challenges, they are the stronger of the two sides and should edge out Somalia on neutral ground, albeit in an uninspiring fashion. A Botswana victory with fewer than four or even three goals seems likely.
