Seychelles vs Comoros Prediction: We expect Comoros to start well here

On Thursday, Seychelles will square off with Comoros at the King Goodwill Zwelithini Stadium. The Pirates have failed to win a game since their appearance in 2016. On the other hand, Comoros' best outing here has been a quarter-final finish in 2019.

The Pirates are one of the low-ranked teams in the competition and have won just once in the last thirty matches. Seychelles failed to make it out of the group phase last season when they played three games without a win. They managed to score once while conceding six times.

Seychelles league are far less competitive than other countries in this tournament, and until they improve their league, they can stand a chance in this competition.

They are ranked 196th on FIFA ratings and have earned a point in the last five matches.

The Coelacanths of Comoros managed just three points in their group last season, and it was against Seychelles. Comoros scored three times and conceded five goals to finish third in Group A. Comoros were a quarter-finalist in 2019 and will be confident of overachieving this season.

They ranked 130th for the first time in the FIFA rankings, and they have won once and lost four times in the last five games.

Both teams have met three times, twice in the COSAFA tournament and a friendly match; two games ended in a win for Comoros and a share of the spoils in an encounter.

Seychelles have not made it past the group phase since their debut in 2015, and we can’t see them surpassing that this season. Comoros are very similar to their opponent but have at least got past the group stage once in 2019.

Comoros and Seychelles have been poor in this competition over the years; however, Comoros pose more threats than the aforementioned, and we are trusting them with a win for 1.75.

We are predicting a halftime draw for 1.89.

It’s going to be a boring match, as we expect both halves to be under 1.5 goals for 1.67.

Good luck!
