Guinea Bissau
Match Time & Date:
09/06/2022
14:00
Prediction: 3-0
Mauritius
Stade de Marrakech will host Thursday’s AFCON qualifier between Guinea Bissau and Mauritius, the two teams who meet for the first time ever in a competitive match. Guinea Bissau failed to impress at the Africa Cup of Nations final earlier in 2022, with the team finishing the process in 4th place in Group D with only one point in their pocket. Baciro Cande’s troops are eager to make amends for the unsuccessful campaign, and they are surely capable of beating Mauritius on home soil.
A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be Al-Shoulla attacker Piqueti, who scored seven goals in 35 appearances for the national team. Les Dodos, on the other hand, booked their place in the final qualifying stages thanks to a win over Sao Tome and Principe, but they will have a mountain to climb in Thursday’s clash at Stade de Marrakech.
