Namíbia vs São Tomé: Prediction for the Match on September 09, 2025

Namíbia vs São Tomé: Prediction and odds on the Match on 09 September 2025

São Tomé will face off against Namíbia at the Francistown Stadium in Botswana tomorrow. The visitors' last win was in 2016, and it doesn’t seem they’ll win anytime soon as they face the Brave Warriors on a neutral ground. Meanwhile, the hosts will strive to maintain their spot on the log even though it’s impossible for them to assume the top of the log.

FIFA Ranking: 108th

Last five games: DDWDL

The Brave Warriors suffered their first loss in the FIFA World Cup qualifying campaign as they were beaten by Malawi at home. Namibia, who had previously gone six games without a loss, were outplayed by their visitors. Despite being the favorite and maintaining possession, Namibia were behind with just five minutes on the pitch. Knowing full well something must change after the break, Namibia were outrun by Malawi, who found the back of the net for the second time in the game. Namibia were only able to respond once through Ndeunyema's consolation goal. 

The (2-1) loss means Namibia have managed just one victory across their previous five FIFA World Cup qualifiers. 

Namibia currently occupy the second spot on the log, picking up twelve points from a combined twenty-one. They have scored nine and conceded four, trailing the leader with seven points. Namibia's previous appearance in this qualifier ended with just a win in six games, but they have been pretty consistent this time.

The Brave Warriors can’t negotiate three points here, and they have to get Peter Shalulile working in this game. I also think they’ll play more attacking football this time, considering the quality of their opponent. 

Namibia Potential Lineup (4-3-3)

Maova—Eib, Hambira, Katua, Hanamub—Kamberipa, Damaseb, Petrus—Kamatuka, Peter Shalulile, Hotto

Head Coach: Collin Benjamin

FIFA Ranking: 193rd

Last five matches: LLLLL

The Falcons and the Parrots team are among the lowest-ranked in the qualifier and have lost seven successive games in this round. São Tomé already suffered defeats against Tunisia, Liberia, Malawi, and Namibia. More recently, they fought really hard to amass all the points; unfortunately, their defence let them down. With just eight minutes of play, São Tomé took the lead from the spotkick, and just before the break, they scored their second goal, leading at the break. The entire game changed after the break as Equatorial Guinea responded three times to snatch the win from a poorly managed São Tomé. 

São Tomé have conceded seventeen goals and occupy the last spot on the log, while finding the back of the net four times. São Tomé's last competitive win was in 2016; since then, they have lost twenty-four times and drawn four.

São Tomé Team News

The guest will pretty much feature the same side that played in Morocco a few days ago, as they are not totally blessed with quality players. As against eleven players on the bench, São Tomé had just six against Equatorial Guinea. 

São Tomé Potential Lineup (4-1-4-1)

Bonfim—Fernandes, Pequeno, d’Almeida, Neves—Waldimilson—Afonso, J. Neves, Braganca, Male—Semedo

Head coach: Ricardo Jorge Monsanto

Namíbia vs São Tomé: head to head statistics

São Tomé were at least better this time against Equatorial Guinea, scoring twice, even though they later lost the game. They have now played twenty-five games without a breakthrough and hardly engage in a friendly match.

Meanwhile, Namibia were on the losing side for the first time in this competition. Malawi took advantage of their vulnerability at the back in a (1-2) home loss.

São Tomé won’t be able to go toe-to-toe with Namibia, as they lack the quality to compete against one of the most consistent teams in the group. Namibia can’t afford to lose back-to-back matches, and after traveling from Morocco to Botswana, São Tomé might be a bit jaded tomorrow. 

My match prediction is for Namibia to score in both halves, with a coefficient of 1.85 on the Betway bookmaker. 

My betting tip is for both teams to score with a coefficient of 3.05 on the Bet365 bookmaker.

My final tip for this game is for Peter Shalulile to score anytime, with a coefficient of 2.14 on the 1xbet bookmaker.

Good luck!
