Seychelles vs Gambia Prediction and Betting Tips

Seychelles host Gambia on Monday for their final game of the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers in the first round, aiming to wrap it up by getting a point across the board. Ranked 203rd in the world, the island side are one of the weakest globally and it has shown during their run, as Seychelles have lost all nine qualifying fixtures so far.

Without a single point in the bag, Ralph Jean-Louis' side are at the bottom of Group F, having scored only two goals and conceded a mammoth 46. Ahead of their final qualifying fixture, Seychelles will hope to bow out by snatching a point at least.

However, Gambia won't make it easy for them. The Scorpions have been knocked out of the World Cup race after collecting only 10 points from nine qualifying games and winning only three times.

Earlier this week, the West African side went down to Gabon in a stunning seven-goal thriller, which saw them relinquish a 3-2 lead to lose 4-3. Former Arsenal and Barcelona star Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored four times for the Panthers in a sensational individual display as the striker single-handedly took Gambia's defense to the cleaners.
