In this Africa Cup of Nations Qualifications match, Cape Verde Islands host Rwanda, with the home side having just lost 1-3 in this competition, while the visitors just won 3-1 in the same competition. Cape Verde Islands have not won any of their last five matches, drawing four before losing the most recent one. Their attack is laboured and their finishing is not sharp. Rwanda, meanwhile, are hot, on a winning run, and scored heavily in their previous two matches, but it remains to be seen how much of the attacking form they enjoyed at home can travel away from home. If the hosts score first from the slightly greater possession they enjoy according to the stats over the last 10 matches, Rwanda will have to open up and fight, which will create space for the hosts to keep attacking and finish the game with a clearer margin.
