Cape Verde enter the match on a positive note just like their oponents, having secured three victories in a row against Central-Africa and Liberia in their last three outings. For all that, their defensive frailties have been apparent as they have struggled to keep opponents from scoring, conceding in their last three away matches.

Nigeria’s top finisher Victor Osimhen and Kelechi Iheanacho have played important roles in ensuring their attack, with Gernot Rohr steering the side, remains effective. Osimhen has already scored three goals in Africa Qualification Group stage this season. Adding further support are Leon Balogun and Ahmed Musa, who have combined to deliver key goals and assists for the team.

Meanwhile, Cape Verde’s offensive unit has leaned on Julio Tavares, their main scorer, and Dylan Tavares, as they continue to drive the team’s attacking efforts forward. Tavares leads Cape Verde’s scoring charts in Africa Qualification Group stage this season with two goals. Jamiro Monteiro, Garry Mendes Rodrigues and Ryan Mendes have supported the attack well, combining for important goals and assists throughout the campaign.
