Gambia and Seychelles will battle for three points in a 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier on Saturday. The Gambians have not been in action since falling to a 3-2 defeat to Cameroon in their final group game of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations in January.
All five goals were scored in the second half, with Karl Toko Ekambi and Christopher Wooh scoring either side of James Gomez's own goal to help the Indomitable Lions claim three points. Ablie Jallow and Omar Collie scored for Gambia but it was not enough as the Scorpions were eliminated in the group stage.
Seychelles, meanwhile, were last in action when they suffered a disappointing 5-0 defeat to Kenya in the World Cup qualifiers in November 2023. Michael Olunga scored a brace while Masoud Juma, Rooney Onyango and Benson Omala scored a goal each in the rout.
Trending

Gambia vs Seychelles Prediction
Gambia have made a poor start to the qualifiers and are six points off the top two. Their form heading into this game has not been good.
Seychelles, for their part, have been even poorer, having also failed to register their first points of the campaign. The Pirates are yet to find the back of the net, conceding 14 goals in just two games.
Neither of the two sides partook in the last international window. Gambia are the booked home side but the game takes place in Morocco, depriving them of home support. We expect a goalless draw.
Prediction: Gambia 0-0 Seychelles
