Mauritius vs Eswatini Prediction
Mauritius and Eswatini were the lowest-ranked sides in the group when the draws were made. Their displays so far have proven this to be the case and their unlikely chance at World Cup qualification has now become almost non-existent.
Eswatini have been even poorer, having lost all three games so far without finding the back of the net. Mauritius' last three games have been tight and have all been decided by a one-goal margin.
These two sides' struggles mean that confidence could be low. Chances could come at a premium and defeat would leave the loser with little left to play for during the rest of the qualifiers. We are backing the two sides to cancel each other out in a goalless stalemate.
Prediction: Mauritius 0-0 Eswatini
