2026 World Cup African Qualifiers Preview (September 4, 2025) – 4.9. 2025

Chad vs Ghana (04.09.2025)

Tip: Ghana to win

Chad are completely hopeless in the qualifiers, having lost all six of their matches so far, scoring just once and conceding 15 times. The team struggles especially in attack, where they have failed to score in five of their six group matches and lack any creativity. Defensively they showed some resolve in March against Comoros when they lost only 1-0, but overall they remain too fragile. Coach Savoy relies on experienced figures like Mouandilmadji and captain N’Douassel, yet even their influence is not enough. Ghana, on the other hand, lead the group and are in excellent form – five straight wins after an opening slip against Mali clearly show their quality. In their most recent game they beat Madagascar 3-0 away, with Partey scoring twice and Kudus adding the third, all assisted by Jordan Ayew. Ghana’s attacking power is immense, averaging 2.5 goals per match, while they have conceded only five. With Kudus, Ayew, and Partey in form and a strong squad overall, Ghana have a huge advantage. The visitors should dominate the game and continue their march towards qualification.

Angola vs Libya (04.09.2025)

Tip: Under 2.5 goals

Angola have struggled badly in turning draws into wins, as they have drawn four of their six qualifiers so far. Their only win came against Eswatini in round three, but since then they have gone without another victory. In their last outing they lost 2-1 at home to Cape Verde, their only defeat in the campaign, although their defense has been reliable overall with only four goals conceded. The bigger issue has been scoring, as they have only four goals in six matches. Libya, meanwhile, have undergone a coaching change with Aliou Cisse taking charge, bringing considerable international experience from his time with Senegal. However, they still lack consistency, as shown in their 3-1 defeat to Cameroon in March. These teams already met earlier in the campaign and played out a 1-1 draw, indicating a very even contest. Angola will once again lean on Depu, who has an incredible record of 15 goals in 17 national team appearances, but he gets little support from the wings. Libya can count on experienced players such as Elhouni and Al-Munir, but the team is not fully match sharp. Given the attacking struggles of both sides, this game looks set to produce few goals.

Guinea-Bissau vs Sierra Leone (04.09.2025)

Tip: Both teams to score (BTTS)

Guinea-Bissau began the qualifiers fairly well but then collapsed, taking only six points from six games and slipping down the standings. They have lost four of their last five matches and are winless in ten across all competitions, showing their poor form. Coach Luis Boa Morte tries to rely on counterattacks, but the defense remains too fragile. Sierra Leone, on the other hand, still have a faint hope of pushing for second place, having recorded two wins, two draws and two losses. Their weakness is the defense, as they have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last six outings. Still, they have some offensive quality through Kei Kamara, who is trying to end a long goal drought, and 19-year-old Abdulay Juma Bah, who recently earned a move to Nice. In the March meeting Sierra Leone defeated Guinea-Bissau, which will give them confidence. The hosts will rely on home support, but their form is troubling. Sierra Leone are inconsistent away from home but often manage to score. Given the defensive weaknesses of both teams, goals on each side are very likely.

Madagascar vs Central African Republic (04.09.2025)

Tip: Madagascar to win

Madagascar under coach Corentin Martins have shown disciplined and energetic football. They currently have 10 points and still believe in a chance for second place in the group. In January they thrashed Central African Republic 4-1 in the reverse fixture, showing their clear superiority. They also did well in regional competitions, reaching the COSAFA Cup semifinals and finishing runner-up in the African Nations Championship. History is on their side too, as Madagascar have never lost to CAR in a World Cup qualifier, with two wins and one draw. Central African Republic are struggling, with only five points and ongoing instability around their coaching situation. Their defense is fragile and they lack a coherent attacking plan. Against Madagascar, who have pacey wingers and strong attacking leaders like Raveloson and Caddy, they could be under constant pressure. With a more balanced squad and stronger momentum, Madagascar are favorites to claim another victory here.

Mauritius vs Cape Verde (04.09.2025)

Tip: Cape Verde to win

Mauritius are fifth in the group with only five points from six matches and have struggled badly. Their biggest issue is the attack, as they have scored only six goals, three of them in a 3-3 draw with Eswatini. Defensively they are leaky, conceding nearly two per game on average. Cape Verde, meanwhile, are top of the group and in good form, winning their last three qualifiers. In March they beat Angola 2-1 and edged Mauritius 1-0 in the reverse fixture. They have conceded only once in those three matches, showing defensive solidity. In attack, they can count on Dailon Livramento, who scored twice off the bench against Angola. Mauritius simply do not have the quality to cope with such opponents, even at home. Cape Verde have greater depth, more experience, and clear motivation to stay ahead of Cameroon in the standings. The visitors are strong favorites to take another three points and maintain their lead.

Sao Tome & Principe vs Equatorial Guinea (04.09.2025)

Tip: Equatorial Guinea to win

Sao Tome & Principe are among the weakest teams in the qualifiers, with six defeats from six matches, only two goals scored and 14 conceded. They have now gone 26 competitive matches without a win, highlighting their very low level. Coach Monsanto lacks experienced internationals and his team are particularly toothless in attack. Equatorial Guinea, on the other hand, still have a chance of reaching second place, with seven points and growing confidence. They are unbeaten in their last three qualifiers and beat Sao Tome 2-0 earlier in 2025. Their star is captain Emilio Nsue, the nation’s all-time top scorer with 22 goals. The midfield is anchored by Omar Mascarell and the defense marshalled by Carlos Akapo and Esteban Obiang. Historically they have dominated Sao Tome, avoiding defeat in three of their last four encounters. With a clear difference in quality, form and motivation, Equatorial Guinea are expected to win again and keep their qualification hopes alive.

Algeria vs Botswana (04.09.2025)

Tip: Algeria to win

Algeria are top of Group G with five wins from six matches, their only blemish being a narrow defeat to Guinea. Since then they have bounced back strongly, beating Botswana 3-1 and Mozambique 5-1, underlining their attacking power. They have scored 16 goals in the group, the highest tally in the CAF qualifiers, while conceding just six. Their squad is packed with talent, led by captain Riyad Mahrez, and featuring Amine Gouiri, Nabil Bentaleb and Hicham Boudaoui. Botswana are third in the group with nine points, but they remain six behind Algeria. Their main strength is resilience, but they have won just once in their last six matches across competitions. Inconsistency remains their biggest problem, and they lack the quality to compete with Algeria’s stars. Coach Ramoreboli has achieved some historic progress, but the gap here is too big. With home advantage and much greater firepower, Algeria should secure a clear win.

Cameroon vs Eswatini (04.09.2025)

Tip: Over 2.5 goals

Cameroon sit second in Group D with 12 points, just one behind leaders Cape Verde. They beat Libya 3-1 in March and previously drew 0-0 away at Eswatini. Offensively Cameroon are strong, having scored 12 goals in the qualifiers, the most in their group. Defensively they are also solid, with only four conceded. Eswatini, however, are bottom with two points and no chance of progressing. Their best result was a 3-3 draw with Mauritius, showing they can occasionally surprise in attack. They have scored five goals in their last three matches, so they may still trouble defenses. Cameroon have stars such as Aboubakar, Mbeumo and goalkeeper Onana, who give them a clear edge. Eswatini will fight hard but lack the quality across the pitch. Cameroon should dominate and with their attacking prowess the match is likely to feature several goals.

Mali vs Comoros (04.09.2025)

Tip: Draw

Mali enter this fixture with a record of two wins, three draws and one defeat, a sign of inconsistency. Their main strength is defense, as they have conceded only four goals in six matches. However, their attack lacks sharpness and often fails to take chances. Comoros have been the surprise of the group, winning four of their six games and still fighting for second place. They have scored nine and conceded seven, showing balance in their performances. Away from home they are competitive, and their momentum gives them confidence for this tough fixture. Historically Mali won the only previous meeting, but Comoros are now stronger and highly motivated. Given both teams’ profiles – Mali solid but blunt, Comoros ambitious and resilient – a draw looks the most likely outcome. It would still keep both in the race, but neither side might be fully satisfied.

Tunisia vs Liberia (04.09.2025)

Tip: Tunisia to win

Tunisia are unbeaten in the qualifiers and top Group H with 16 points from five wins and one draw. They have scored nine goals and remarkably not conceded a single one, reflecting an exceptional defensive record. Coach Sami Trabelsi has brought discipline and efficiency since his February appointment. Tunisia also boast an excellent head-to-head record against Liberia, winning five of the last seven encounters. Liberia are third with ten points, trying to spring a surprise, but their defense is a weakness, with ten goals conceded in their last six competitive matches. In March they lost narrowly 1-0 to Tunisia, showing they can resist but not quite match them. They have improved recently, benefiting from a FIFA ruling and some narrow wins, but this is a huge step up. With home advantage in Rades and their exceptional defensive solidity, Tunisia are clear favorites. Another clean sheet and a home victory are strongly expected.
