Eswatini will aim to overturn a two-goal deficit in the second leg of the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers when they welcome Eritrea to the Somholo National Stadium. Here's our match prediction.
Eswatini's first competitive match since a 3-0 defeat against Cape Verde in the FIFA World Cup African qualifiers in October 2025 got off to a bad start.
They were pitted against Eritrea in the first leg of the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers. The final result was a 2-0 defeat on the road. It was unfortunate that they couldn't get on the scoreboard, registering 12 shots at goal.
Sihlangu Semnikati have now gone nine games across all competitions without a win and have lost their last two matches without scoring. In fact, they've failed to score in four of their last five.
Eritrea gave a good account of themselves in their first continental qualifier in 20 years, defeating Eswatini 2-0 in the first leg of the Africa Cup of Nations preliminary round qualifiers.
The match was played at a neutral venue, but that didn't stop them from securing a first-leg advantage courtesy of second-half goals from Ablelom Teklezgi and Ali Sulieman.
Before that triumph, the Red Sea Camels were on a five-match winless run with four losses during this period. Away from home, they've lost their last two matches. However, this is a side that was once on a four-match unbeaten run.
