Rwanda

Cape Verde Islands return home after a difficult away opener against Mali. Their recent fixtures on home territory include disciplined defensive displays, such as a 0-0 draw with Saudi Arabia. While Rwanda started their campaign well with a 3-1 home win against Liberia, their historical encounters with Cape Verde have been exceptionally tight, with both previous qualification clashes ending in 0-0 draws. Backing Cape Verde to win or draw covers the most likely outcomes in what should be a low-scoring encounter.

Under 2.5 Goals — 68% confidence

Early qualification matches often feature conservative tactics to protect defensive structure. Rwanda maintained clean sheets across both of their recorded home fixtures, while Liberia were held scoreless in their away defeat to Sierra Leone. A compact contest with two or fewer total goals is the most probable pattern.
