World Cup Qualifiers: Key Battles & Teams to Watch
Group C: Tight Race Heats Up
- Benin vs. South Africa: A crucial clash! South Africa (10 pts) leads, but Benin (8 pts) can leapfrog them with a win. South Africa’s recent form gives them a slight edge, but Benin’s home advantage could be decisive.
- Nigeria vs. Zimbabwe: Nigeria, with Ademola Lookman and Victor Osimhen, aims for dominance at home in Uyo. Expect an aggressive start from the Super Eagles as they push for qualification points.
Group A & B: Favourites Aim for Control
- Egypt vs. Sierra Leone: Egypt, led by Mohamed Salah, are expected to extend their Group A lead against Mohamed Kallon led Sierra Leone side in Cairo.
- Senegal vs. Togo: Senegal, with Sadio Mane, are clear favorites at home in Dakar. Their squad depth should prove too much for Togo.
Teams to Watch: Underdogs & Rebound Attempts
- Comoros (Group J): The surprise package! Comoros leads their group and a win against Chad would significantly boost their historic World Cup qualification hopes.
- Ghana (Group I): Seeking redemption after AFCON disappointment, Ghana has brought in coach Winfried Schäfer. Their matches against Chad and Madagascar are vital for their World Cup ambitions.
