Head to Head

Eritrea have a slight edge with one victory to none against Eswatini, including two draws in three meetings.

Eswatini Form

Eswatini conceded two late goals against Eritrea in their AFCON preliminary round qualifier last week, losing 2-0 away.

Eswatini failed to win any of their FIFA World Cup qualifiers played between September and November last year, losing 3-0 to Cameroon, 2-0 to Libya, and drawing 2-2 with Angola before losing 3-0 to Cape Verde.

Sihlangu Semnikati have lost four of their last five matches, with one draw. They scored two goals and conceded 12.

Eswatini have a tough test to overturn the deficit from the opening leg, but they have the advantage of playing the reverse match at home. Can they make it count?

Eritrea Form

Eritrea celebrated their return to the Africa Cup of Nations qualifying rounds with a 2-0 victory over Eswatini last week.

Before that, Eritrea faced Niger A in two international friendlies in May 2025, drawing 0-0 and losing 1-0.

The Red Sea Camels have won one of their last five fixtures, with three defeats and one draw. They have scored two goals and conceded five.

Eritrea will aim to exploit the poor form of Eswatini in the second leg to record back-to-back victories and advance to the next phase of qualifying.
