Equatorial Guinea vs Togo Prediction: The home team will not disappoint

In the African Cup of Nations qualifier, Equatorial Guinea and Togo will battle it out at Nuevo Estadio de Malabo. The two teams could not secure a win. How will they approach this one?

Equatorial Guinea started their AFCON qualifier with a defeat to Algeria. In that encounter, Equatorial Guinea did well to hold in the first time, with Riyad Mahrez missing from the spot for Algeria. In the meantime, second-half goals from Huossem Aouar and Amine Gouiri in the second half denied Equatorial Guinea a chance of picking a point in that game. Heading into this game, Equatorial Guinea have won two of their last five matches, coming against Cambodia and Malawi.

Togo started their African Cup of Nations qualifier with a draw with Liberia. In that encounter, Togo did take the lead in the 78th minute through Ahoueke Steeve Kevin Denkey’s strike. However, the last-minute strike by William Gibson for Liberia was good enough to deny Togo maximum points. Heading into this game, Togo lost only one game in recent matches, coming against D.R. Congo. However, they drew two others and picked a win over Niger.

The two teams are not at the top level, but looking at what they can deliver, the home team is a bit ahead. In recent matches, Togo have avoided defeats in three games while they lost to D.R. Congo. However, Equatorial Guinea, at home against a struggling side like them, should be able to take maximum points in a game that could end with few goals.
