by Sridhar in World Cup Predictions
It’s a battle of the bottom in Group A of the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification in Africa, as winless teams Ethiopia and Djibouti face off on Monday. This is the matchday six fixture between the fifth-placed Walia Ibex and the sixth-placed Shoremen of the Red Sea at Stade El Abdi in Morocco. This match comes with our prediction of under 2.5 goals.
Ethiopia have three points from three draws out of five, while Djibouti have just one point. A 2-0 loss at home to Egypt in the last round extended Ethiopia’s poor run lately. They have now lost three in a row and seven out of their last eight.
Their recent record in this competition has been equally poor, as Ethiopia are winless in their last nine World Cup qualifiers, drawing five and losing four.
Djibouti have just one point from their five matches so far. They are coming off a 4-1 away loss to Burkina Faso. That followed their loss to Rwanda in the ANC qualification, as the visitors continue to struggle.
The concerns are even more prominent in this competition, as Djibouti lost ten of their last 11 World Cup qualifiers. It gets worse on the road, as the visitors were beaten in their last six away World Cup qualifiers.

Our Ethiopia vs Djibouti Prediction
Ethiopia and Djibouti are stacked close together at the bottom of the points tally in this group. That is not just a reflection of their poor returns but also of how poor their scoring record has been. Ethiopia have scored a single goal in this qualifying campaign, while Djibouti have just three to its name. The visitors have the worst defensive record in this campaign in their group, but this match could be low on goals. That’s why our Ethiopia vs Djibouti prediction is under 2.5.
