Cabo Verde vs Saudi Arabia Preview

Two teams who have upset the odds hugely in Group H battle it out here, as Cabo Verde take on Saudi Arabia.

For Cabo Verde, it has been an extraordinary tournament, picking up draws against Spain and Uruguay, to give themselves a great chance of progressing to the knockout rounds.

Saudi Arabia were undone by Spain but they too managed to hold Uruguay and they could also progress with a result here.

Added into the mix that Uruguay take on Spain, these two sides have a genuine chance of finishing in second place in Group H with a win.

It may have been an unfancied one on paper prior to the tournament, but it looks a very interesting fixture at this point.

Here is a look ahead to Cabo Verde vs Saudi Arabia:

In their first ever World Cup, Cabo Verde have made headlines for all the right reasons.

Opening their campaign against Spain was never going to be easy but Cabo Verde dug deep to pick up a 0-0 draw and set their tournament off to the perfect start.

Next up against Uruguay they demonstrated attacking intent too and managed to pick up a 2-2 draw against the South American greats.

As a result, they find themselves bang in the mix to progress to the last 32 and they know a win here should secure just that.

Uruguay and Spain lock horns in the other game in the group, which could impact this one, but Cabo Verde should be full of confidence heading to Houston here.

In both games played, Cabo Verde have demonstrated a defensive strength that few expected to see, and they will need to replicate that here against Saudi Arabia.

Despite possessing some decent attacking talents, Saudi Arabia have yet to score in the competition and have lacked fluency.

All of which will play into the hands of Cabo Verde, who can express themselves more in this one and take more risks, but a low scoring win looks decent value.

Best Value Bet

Draw at HT, Cabo Verde to be winning at FT @ $4.20

This one will be cagey and could be governed by events between Uruguay and Spain as they filter in.

Whichever side picks up the win should be in a great position to progress, while the draw wouldn’t be a great result for Saudi Arabia.

It will be nip and tuck from the outset, but it could be Cabo Verde who find a way to get over the line.
