Cape Verde Islands come into this match having drawn both of their recent games, including a 2-2 thriller. That shows they can both score and let in goals, but they are unbeaten in their last two outings. Saudi Arabia, on the other hand, are in a tougher spot. They lost their most recent game 4-0, which was a heavy defeat, and before that they had two draws. While they had two wins before that, their form has dipped lately.

The recent head-to-head record between these two teams is empty, so there is no past history to go on. Given that Cape Verde have been solid without losing, and Saudi Arabia are coming off a big loss, the match looks very close. I think Cape Verde Islands will avoid defeat, and a draw seems the most likely outcome here.
