Cape Verde and Bermuda meet at Brann Stadion in Bergen on June 6 in what looks like a comfortable fixture on paper for the Blue Sharks. Cape Verde arrive off the back of a convincing 3-0 win over Serbia, their only match in the last 30 days, and carry a form line that reads far more competitively than Bermuda’s recent run. Bermuda, coached by Maurice Lowe, have not played a single match in the last 30 days and lost all five of their most recent competitive outings before their sole 2026 appearance. The gap in competitive rhythm alone makes this match worth paying attention to.
On the Cape Verde side, their most consistent attacking threat across recent matches has come from the forward line operating under coach Bubista’s 4-2-3-1 system. The player who connects the midfield and attack in that structure, the number 10 role, tends to be their most dangerous creative outlet. For Bermuda, the forward they push highest up the pitch in their own 4-2-3-1 is the one to watch, as any counter-attacking moment will run through that player given how deep Bermuda typically sit against stronger opposition.
Hot stat: Bermuda have failed to score in four of their last five matches, conceding 18 goals across those five games. That is an average of 3.6 goals against per game, which tells you everything about how porous their defensive structure has been heading into this fixture.

Cape Verde vs Bermuda Prediction
Cape Verde are the clear side to back here. Their form over the last 15 matches shows a settled, experienced group that wins more often than not, and their most recent result, a 3-0 clean sheet win over Serbia, signals they are in good shape heading into June. Bermuda, by contrast, have lost 11 of their last 15 matches and conceded heavily in nearly every recent outing. The D.R. Congo match ended 0-2, the Curacao match ended 0-7, and the two games against Trinidad and Tobago both went against them. There is no evidence of a defensive improvement.
We predict a Cape Verde win with goals, and the margin should be comfortable. Bubista’s side plays with enough width and pressing intensity in a 4-2-3-1 to exploit a Bermuda back line that struggles against organized attacks. Bermuda’s own 4-2-3-1 will likely sit deep and try to absorb pressure, but given the volume of goals they have conceded recently, that plan has not worked. Cape Verde’s pass accuracy and controlled build-up play should break them down without too much trouble.
The fouls and card picture is harder to call without granular data, but Bermuda teams under pressure tend to commit more fouls in the middle third as they try to disrupt Cape Verde’s rhythm. That should generate free kicks in promising positions for the Blue Sharks and push the corner count upward as Cape Verde pin them back.

Team Analysis
Cape Verde’s recent record is solid for a team at their level. The 3-0 win over Serbia in their last outing was their most impressive result in recent months and showed a team capable of controlling a match from start to finish. Before that, they drew 1-1 with Finland, lost 2-4 to Chile, drew 1-1 with Egypt, and drew 0-0 with Iran. The draw against Iran and the loss to Chile suggest they can be vulnerable against physical, well-organized sides, but Bermuda are neither of those things at this point in their development. The Serbia win is the most relevant data point going into this match.
Bermuda’s recent form is difficult to defend. Their only 2026 match ended in a 0-2 loss to D.R. Congo, and before that they lost to Trinidad and Tobago, were beaten 0-7 by Curacao, lost 0-4 to Jamaica, and lost again to Trinidad and Tobago 0-3. That is five consecutive defeats, with a combined score of 1-18 across those five matches. Bermuda scored just once in that entire run. Maurice Lowe’s side shows no signs of a defensive or attacking system that can cope against a team of Cape Verde’s quality.

Pre-game Odds and Win Probability: Cape Verde the Favourite
No bookmaker odds were available in our dataset at the time of writing. Based on the form analysis and the clear competitive gap between these two sides, Cape Verde should be heavy favorites. We expect the market to reflect a very short price on a Cape Verde win, with over 2.5 goals also likely to carry a low price given Bermuda’s recent defensive record.
To be honest, even without firm odds, the value in this match almost certainly lies on Cape Verde winning and the total going over. Bermuda’s inability to score in four of their last five games makes the BTTS No market worth considering as a secondary play.
Possible Starting Lineups
Cape Verde Possible Starting Eleven
- GK: Vozinha
- DF: Stopira, Roberto Lopes, Diney, Julio Tavares
- MF: Jamiro Monteiro, Ryan Mendes, Garry Rodrigues, Bebeto
- MF: Nuno Borges
- FW: Willy Semedo
Bubista is expected to set up in his preferred 4-2-3-1, with a double pivot protecting the back four and three attacking midfielders supporting a central striker. Garry Rodrigues carries the most individual threat in wide areas, and Jamiro Monteiro provides the engine in midfield. Given that no granular player appearance data was available, this lineup reflects the most recognizable names from Cape Verde’s recent international squads. Vozinha remains the likely starter in goal and has been a reliable presence for the national team.
Bermuda Possible Starting Eleven
- GK: Dale Eve
- DF: Dante Leverock, Osagi Bascome, Jalen Harvey, Zekiah Smith
- MF: Reggie Lambe, Zeiko Lewis, Donte Brangman, Justin Donawa
- MF: Keishon Bean
- FW: Nahki Wells
Maurice Lowe mirrors the 4-2-3-1 shape, and Nahki Wells remains Bermuda’s most recognizable attacking name. Reggie Lambe and Zeiko Lewis are the players most capable of creating something in the midfield third, though both have struggled for consistency in recent results. Dante Leverock is the key figure defensively and will face a tough evening against Cape Verde’s movement. As with Cape Verde, this lineup is based on Bermuda’s known international pool given the absence of granular appearance data.

TipsGG Match Prediction
Cape Verde win this match. The form gap is substantial, the momentum sits entirely with Bubista’s side after the Serbia result, and Bermuda arrive having not played in over 30 days while carrying a defensive record that falls apart under any real pressure. We predict Cape Verde to win by at least two goals, with the match likely decided before the hour mark. Over 2.5 goals is the primary bet, and Cape Verde to score in both halves offers solid secondary value. Bermuda have scored just once in five matches, so backing BTTS No alongside the Cape Verde win makes sense as a combined approach. Perhaps the only uncertainty here is the exact margin, but the direction of the result is not in doubt.
