Eswatini - Botswana predictions and free betting tips [26/06/2024]

The international tournament featuring teams from the Southern Africa region kicks off. Football enthusiasts are in for a thrilling clash between Eswatini and Botswana.

Eswatini

The Eswatini national team is one of the weakest in the world and not particularly strong even by African standards. They have never appeared in major international tournaments. Their lack of presence in the regional tournament illustrates the weakness of the yellow and blue team.

In the FIFA rankings, Eswatini holds the 148th spot and has been making slight progress recently. However, their recent matches have been disappointing. They virtually lost their chances for the World Cup. On a brighter note, Eswatini achieved some success against Somalia, accumulating 4 points over two matches. 

Botswana

The Botswana team has historically shown poor results and has never been a powerhouse in African football. For a long time, Botswana did not even participate in international tournaments. It was only in 2012 that they made it to the Africa Cup of Nations. Currently, Botswana holds the 145th spot in the FIFA rankings and has maintained it for a while.

In 4 qualification matches, Botswana accumulated 6 points, having defeated Somalia and Guinea. Their performances against Mozambique and Uganda were underwhelming. Thus, Botswana enters the tournament in good form. 

Head-to-Head

In the last 5 matches, Botswana has the upper hand with 3 victories. In 2022, Eswatini and Botswana drew twice.

Total Match Prediction

The total over for the match will exceed 2 goals. The opponents are of similar level and will compete evenly. Goals from both sides are inevitable.

Match Prediction: Eswatini vs Botswana

Botswana is predicted to win. The team from Botswana performs much better in the World Cup qualifiers compared to Eswatini, who have been failing the tournament. Eswatini has lost 4 consecutive matches, while Botswana is in good form and frequently secures victories.
