Our prediction for this World Cup 2026 match:
Stade General Lansana Conte will host Friday’s World Cup qualifier between Guinea and Guinea Bissau, the two teams who missed out on a place at the next year’s showpiece tournament. Guinea are eyeing their first win of the process, and we are positive that they will adopt an attack-minded approach in their penultimate group game. Naby Keita has received a call-up despite his injury, but he is unlikely to start against Guinea Bissau.
The visitors, on the other hand, aim to make amends for back-to-back losses to Morocco. Farense midfielder Bura is out of contention due to accumulation of yellow cards, while both Cassama and Mendes are pushing for a start. Since both sides will be with guards down in Friday’s qualifier, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on both teams to score.

The team play their home games at Estadio 24 de Setembro and Estadio Lino Correia and the colour of their home kit is red. Guinea-Bissau play their away matches in green shirts and green shorts. The likes of Edson Ricardo Nunes Correia Silva, Gerso Fernandes, Lassana Camara, Almami Moreira, Bocundji Ca, Eridson, Luciano Teixeira and Esmael Goncalves are some of Guinea-Bissau’s most notable players.
