Cape Verde and Serbia square off at Estadio do Restelo in what promises to be an exciting international friendly. The African side continue preparations for their first-ever FIFA World Cup appearance and head into the match in solid form, losing only one of their last ten games in all competitions. The Blue Sharks have been particularly reliable defensively, keeping clean sheets in 50% of those matches while conceding just one goal per game on average. Veteran captain Ryan Mendes remains the key figure for the island nation after scoring 22 goals in 96 appearances for his country. Cape Verde have also shown attacking consistency lately, scoring in nine of their last ten matches.
Serbia, meanwhile, are looking to bounce back after an unsuccessful World Cup qualifying campaign. Coach Veljko Paunovic has opted to rest several star names, including Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, Aleksandar Mitrovic, and Nikola Milenkovic, which could affect the Eagles’ overall quality and experience. Serbia’s recent form has been inconsistent as well, with the team failing to score in 50% of their last ten outings. Even so, the Serbs still possess enough talent to remain competitive in Lisbon.
Taking everything into account, this looks like a balanced friendly between two evenly matched sides. Therefore, we are tempted to bet on Draw, alongside Half-Time Draw and Under 2.5 goals (Serbia’s recent matches have generally been low-scoring affairs).
This match will be played on Sunday 31 May 2026 at 14:30.
