Namibia vs Liberia Prediction and Betting Tips | June 5th 2024
Namibia and Liberia return to action in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers when they square off at the Orlando Stadium on Wednesday. Cooper Sannoh’s men head into the game off the back of a successful run in the Africa Cup of Nations preliminary qualifiers and will look to keep the juggernaut rolling.
Namibia will be in action for the first time since January when they suffered a humbling 3-0 defeat against Angola in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations round of 16.
Collin Benjamin’s side have picked up one win and one draw in their three group-stage games to finish third in Group E and progress to the knockout stages as one of the best losers.
Namibia now turn their attention to the World Cup qualifiers, where they currently sit at the top of Group H with six points from the first two rounds of matches.
Liberia, on the other hand, secured a 2-0 aggregate victory over Djibouti in March to book their spot in the 2025 AFCON qualifiers.
Sannoh will hope his side’s success over Djibouti can serve as a springboard for a fine run of form as the Lone Stars return to action in the World Cup qualifiers.
Liberia have picked up three points from their opening two matches in Group H to sit third in the table, level on points with fourth-placed Malawi.
