The Gambia will face Comoros at the Stade Municipal de Berkane on Friday in another 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier. The Scorpions have endured a rather disappointing AFCON qualifying campaign so far and now need results in their final games to advance to the final tournament in Morocco next year.
They picked up their first win of the qualifiers last time out, beating Madagascar 1-0 at the Ben M'Hamed El Abdi Stadium with Musa Barrow scoring the sole goal of the game midway through the second half to atone for his squandered penalty kick earlier in the contest.
Meanwhile, Comoros have had mixed results so far but remain well placed to advance from Group A. They played out a 1-1 draw against group leaders Tunisia in their last match, with Faiz Selemani heading home the opener early after the restart before their opponents leveled the scores later in the half.
The Coelacanths sit second in their group with six points from an obtainable 12. Victory on Friday will see them go five points clear of their opponents and secure them an AFCON spot for the first time since 2021.
Gambia vs Comoros Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
- Friday's game will mark just the second meeting between Gambia and Comoros following their maiden matchup back in September which ended 1-1.
- The Gambia have conceded four goals in the qualifiers so far, the joint-highest in Group A alongside last-placed Madagascar.
- Comoros have kept just one clean sheet in their last six games across all competitions.
- The Scorpions were ranked 128th in the latest FIFA rankings and now sit 20 places behind their weekend opponents.
Gambia vs Comoros Prediction
The Gambia's latest result ended a four-game winless streak and they will be looking to kick on from that this weekend. Defeat on Friday will see their AFCON push come to an end should Tunisia beat Madagascar elsewhere.
Comoros are on a four-game unbeaten streak, although they managed just one win in their last six games across all competitions. The Coelacanths will head into the weekend clash high on confidence after positive results against the group leaders last month and should have enough to avoid defeat here.
Prediction: Gambia 1-1 Comoros
