Cape Verde and Cameroon go head-to-head in a top-of-the-table clash in Group D of the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers at the Estadio Nacional de Cabo Verde on Tuesday evening.
Only one point separates the sides heading into this encounter, making it a pivotal fixture in the battle for automatic qualification.
Cape Verde enter this match on a high after a 2-0 victory over Mauritius last Thursday, with goals from Jovane Cabral and Diney Borges keeping their qualification hopes firmly on track.
Bubista’s men have now won five of their seven qualifiers, suffering just one defeat while drawing once.
Their solid record has seen them score nine goals and concede only five, while four consecutive wins have lifted them to the summit of Group D.
The Indomitable Lions are currently unbeaten in 13 matches across all competitions, their last defeat coming against Nigeria in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations round of 16.
With a record eight World Cup appearances, Cameroon are aiming to extend their African benchmark and secure direct qualification without having to go through the playoffs.
Having scored more goals and conceded fewer than any other side, Brys’s men should have enough to secure all three points.
