Gambia were beaten 1-3 in their latest outing in a friendly, while Somalia drew 0-0 in their qualifier in this competition, bringing both sides into this matchup in markedly contrasting moods. Although the hosts have stumbled in recent form, playing at this venue still gives them an edge in creating chances, averaging 7.5 shots on target per game over their last 6 matches. That stands in stark contrast to Somalia, who focus on defending deep and average under 40% possession. In the opening 45 minutes, the visitors might hold out reasonably well, but once the game opens up in the second half, the hosts' attacking quality should decisively break down the opposing backline.
