Equatorial Guinea
Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 1-1
Guinea Bissau
After holding Nigeria to a 1-1 draw in their Group A opener, Equatorial Guinea will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they take on Guinea Bissau at Stade Olympique Alassane Outtara in their second group game. Los Elefantes defended well against the Super Eagles and we are positive that the nominal hosts will adopt yet another defence-minded approach against the Djurtus. Both Alex Balboa and Federico Bikoro are one yellow card away from suspension.
Guinea Bissau, on the other hand, failed to shock AFCON 2023 hosts Ivory Coast in Abidjan (0-2), but they are surely capable of matching Equatorial Guinea in their second group game. Anyhow, a close encounter is on the cards at Stade Olympique Alassane Outtara and we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on draw. As for the nominal visitors, midfielder Moreto Cassama should be cautious after picking up a yellow in the Group A opener.
