Somalia vs Eswatini football predictions for this match of Nations Cup Qual.

Eswatini
Match Stats

At 149th according to FIFA Rankings, Eswatini is the highest-ranked of the eight teams that will contest the preliminary rounds and are the bookmakers' early favourites to reach the group-stage qualifiers.While Dominic Kunene's side did reach the COSAFA Cup quarter-finals last year, their overall record remains relatively poor, with just one win in their last 15 matches in all competitions, including defeats in both of their 2026 World Cup qualifiers in November last year.Meanwhile, Somalia head into these qualifiers ranked 198th according to the most recent FIFA Rankings, making them the 13th-lowest-ranked side in the world and the second-lowest in the CAF region, only ahead of Seychelles, who have been excluded from the competition.


Somalia have had limited game time in recent years, and their performance in the few matches played have been underwhelming, suffering defeats in all four games in 2023, including losses in their World Cup qualifiers, falling 3-1 to Algeria and 1-0 against Uganda last November.


While both these sides reside in the lower echelons of the region's rankings, Eswatini have played significantly more football in recent times and have managed a few notable results, including holding Burkina Faso and South Africa to draws while beating Namibia all within the last year. We feel they will be too good for Somalia in this one.

Prediction: Somalia 0-2 Eswatini
