Our Predictions
Angola has not lost to Eswatini in their last 11 meetings and is in slightly better form, having won their most recent qualifier. Angola’s odds of 1.33 reflect strong market confidence and the gap in quality between the teams, especially given Eswatini’s poor defense and lack of wins in this campaign.
Both teams are not free-scoring, with Eswatini especially struggling to find the net and Angola only slightly better. The odds of 1.48 for both teams not to score are attractive, given the low historical head-to-head scoring pattern and both sides’ recent defensive records.
Eswatini averages 0.8 goals per game, Angola just 1.2. Their last five matches have not been high-scoring, and with both teams struggling to create clear chances, Under 2.5 goals at 1.69 odds feels like a safe bet for a low-scoring qualifier.
Welcome to Extratips, your trusted guide for in-depth football match analysis! On October 8, 2025, Eswatini and Angola meet in a World Cup qualifier that could make or break their slim tournament hopes. Both teams are struggling but dreaming big. Eswatini sits bottom of Group D with 2 points, Angola is fourth with 7—both are desperate for a win, but the stakes are higher for Angola, who are still in reach of third place. Looking at their last five meetings, Angola dominates, having won in June 2024 and never losing to Eswatini historically—11 games, Angola 6 wins, Eswatini 0, with 3 draws. Eswatini’s form is patchy; they have lost three, drawn two in their last five matches, and are winless in six qualifiers. Angola isn’t flying high either—they’ve drawn four, lost one, and won one in their last six qualifiers. Both sides struggle for goals—Eswatini averages 0.8 goals per game, Angola 1.2. Eswatini tends to leak more goals, conceding 2.2 per match lately, while Angola is tighter but still not watertight. Angola is missing one key player, Zini, through injury; Eswatini reports no major absentees. Key storylines include Eswatini’s quest for a rare World Cup qualifying win, Angola’s hope to edge closer to the playoff spots, and whether both teams can finally find their scoring boots in a match that could become a tense, low-scoring affair. Will Angola’s extra firepower be decisive, or will Eswatini’s home crowd inspire an upset? We’ll find out soon!
