Match Analysis

Cabo Verde: Cabo Verde's WC Farewell

Cabo Verde end their debut World Cup against Saudi Arabia — an opponent much closer to their level than Spain or Uruguay. Ryan Mendes and Garry Rodrigues can create moments against Saudi Arabia's defensive setup.

Their set piece delivery has been their best weapon throughout Group H. Against Saudi Arabia's smaller defenders, aerial balls into the box give Cabo Verde their best chance.

Saudi Arabia: Saudi Arabia Finish with a Win

Saudi Arabia want to leave WC2026 with a positive result before hosting 2034. Al-Dawsari against Cabo Verde's right back is the cleanest individual mismatch in this match.

Mancini will use this as an opportunity to give players minutes ahead of the 2034 cycle — younger players who need international experience.
