What to Expect Today — Cabo Verde vs Serbia
Cabo Verde arrive at this farewell fixture flying. The Blue Sharks beat Finland 5-3 in their most recent FIFA Series match, a confident attacking display that will have coach Bubista feeling good about the group stage ahead. Captain Ryan Mendes leads a squad built on pace, width, and counter-attacking instinct — exactly the style that can trouble Serbia even at home in Praia. Cabo Verde have selected Salt Lake City, Utah as their World Cup base camp and this is their last proper match on home soil before the island says goodbye to their squad ahead of history.
Serbia arrive as the more technically accomplished side on paper, with a squad featuring Juventus striker Dušan Vlahović and the experience of Aleksandar Mitrović — but the frustration of missing the 2026 World Cup hangs over this trip. Coach Dragan Stojković needs a strong performance to begin the rebuilding process after a qualifying campaign that fell short of expectations. Playing in Praia — a compact 15,000-capacity stadium in a warm, passionate Atlantic island setting — is exactly the kind of unusual environment that can test big-squad European teams.
Cabo Verde have never played Serbia before at senior international level, making this a genuinely historic first meeting between the two nations.
