Our prediction for this World Cup 2026 match:
Somalia and Botswana take on each other at Estadio de Zimpeto in what is expected to be an interesting World Cup qualifier. Somalia aim to recover from a 2-1 loss to Mozambique, but given their slim qualifying chances, home win should not be considered. Even though there are no fresh injury worries in the home team, Ismail Shirwa should sneak into the starting XI.
The Zebras, on the other hand, aim to bounce back from a 1-0 loss to Uganda. As the visitors will not have a better chance than this to return to winning ways in the World Cup qualifiers, away win should be considered. Speaking of the visiting team, there are no fresh injury worries ahead of the trip to Maputo, Mozambique (neutral location). Botswana head coach Gomes da Rosa should stick to the 4-2-3-1 formation.
