**Sri Lanka rolls into this one as the clear favorite**, but Seychelles has shown they can nick a result — they're 1-1 in head-to-head with the Lions. 📋

Seychelles are in freefall though, getting pumped 0-7 twice at home recently. Sri Lanka, meanwhile, has been quietly impressive with three straight wins and only one loss in their last five. Form tells the story here.

Key storylines:

- **Sri Lanka's attacking depth** will be the difference if they can break down a fragile Seychelles backline anchored by C. Simeon and D. Fanchette
- **Seychelles' desperation at home** — they need a performance reset badly after consecutive hammerings, but B. Labrosse and the midfield three have to stabilize first
- **W. Dekker and A. L. Perera** spearheading Sri Lanka's offense; they've been clinical in recent friendlies

Expected lineups:

- **Seychelles**: C. Simeon, W. Mellie, C. Häusl, D. Fanchette, A. Walters, B. Labrosse, I. Raheriniaina, E. Sopha, J. Joubert, D. Mothe, R. Henriette
- **Sri Lanka**: S. Perera, S. Durrant, A. Rajendram, J. Supan, A. Rajamohan, O. Kelaart, B. Suresh, A. W. Razeek, A. L. Perera, D. D. Silva, W. Dekker

Prediction:

**Sri Lanka 3-1 Seychelles** — Sri Lanka have the momentum and better squad; Seychelles might grab a consolation but won't be competitive. 🔵
