The Matchday 7 clash in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers between Mauritius and Cape Verde will take place on September 4 at the Côte d’Or Sports Complex in Saint-Pierre. Mauritius vs. Cape Verde: prediction and betting odds, statistics.


Mauritius

Mauritius has struggled in the qualifiers, failing to secure a win in their last six matches. The team has managed only two draws and suffered four defeats, placing them at the bottom of the group standings. Their defense has been a major concern, conceding an average of two goals per match.


  • Mauritius has not won in their last six World Cup qualifying matches (2 draws, 4 losses).
  • The team has conceded at least two goals in 5 of their last 6 matches in this tournament.
  • Mauritius has scored only once in their last four home games in the qualifiers.

Cape Verde

Cape Verde enters this match with a solid performance record, having secured three wins in their last four qualifiers. The team currently sits in second place in the group, just one point behind the leaders. Cape Verde's defense has been particularly strong, allowing just one goal in their last four matches.


  • Cape Verde has won 3 of their last 4 World Cup qualifying matches.
  • The team has kept a clean sheet in 3 of their last 4 matches in this tournament.
  • Cape Verde has not conceded more than one goal in any of their last five away qualifiers.

Mauritius vs. Cape Verde: Match Prediction

Mauritius has found it difficult to compete at this level, especially against more robust teams like Cape Verde. Their defensive vulnerabilities have been exposed in recent matches, and their attack has struggled to find the net. On the other hand, Cape Verde has shown consistency and resilience, particularly in defense, which could prove decisive in this encounter.


Given the current form of both teams, I expect Cape Verde to dominate, with a strong likelihood of keeping a clean sheet. My prediction: Total under 2.5 goals
