Angola host Cape Verde at the Estádio 11 de Novembro on Tuesday for their clash in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers, looking for just their second win of the campaign. Ranked 85th in the world, the Black Sable antelopes are in fourth position of Group D with seven points but haven't lost a single game yet.
On either side of their narrow 1-0 win over Eswatini are a pair of draws each.
However, their inability to score has seen them struggle to climb higher up the standings as Angola need to find their attacking rhythm to break down their opponents.
On the other hand, Cape Verde have emerged as the biggest surprise in the group. They sit atop the table with three wins and 10 points in the bag, and as things stand, are qualifying for the World Cup for the first time ever.
