Mauritius vs Eswatini Prediction: Take a chance on the road team

At Cote d’Or National Sports Complex, Mauritius will take on Eswatini in the ongoing World Cup qualifier for African nations. These two countries are the weakest in their group. Which side wins this game?

Mauritius are off a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Libya. In that game, Mauritius conceded in the 20th minute of the game, but Kevin Bru leveled the scores but then could only see themselves conceding in the 40th minute while being unable to get things right again. Heading into this game, Mauritius have struggled to secure a win in as many as six matches, picking just one draw and losing other encounters.

Eswatini will come into this game following a 1-0 defeat to Angola last time out. In that game, Mabululu's lone strike was the difference. However, Eswatini had also lost to Cape Verde and Libya in prior encounters while they drew Somalia. In the meantime, their lone win in that run was against Somalia in a 3-0 encounter. In the World Cup qualifying encounter, Eswatini have not picked a point, conceding four goals with zero scored. 

Eswatini should get luck this time in this game despite their poor play in this qualifier. Mauritius have not stepped up lately, and even at home, I do not see them pulling off any surprising win. Expect this one to be close, with both teams tipped to score while Eswatini take the maximum points.
