Guinea Bissau vs Eswatini Prediction: The hosts will outperform their opponent here

After their unsuccessful journey in the AFCON Tournament, Guinea Bissau will start a new campaign against Eswatini at the Estadio Nacional 24 De Setembro on Thursday. Under their new coach, Luis Boa Morte, the hosts have drawn their last two games, and they’ll be keen to maintain their unbeaten record against Eswatini.

The Djurtus are now undefeated over their last three games—Guinea Bissau head here with a share of the spoils against Egypt in the FIFA World Cup qualifier. Mama Blade opened the scoreline just before the break, while the Egyptians responded after the first half. It was a more improved display compared to their match against Ethiopia on their home turf. 

The hosts, who had a terrible journey in the AFCON Tournament, will try to adjust in this qualifying round this time. Guinea Bissau have won once and drawn twice over their last five games in all competitions. They must win here to stand a chance of making it to the tournament next year. 

Guinea Bissau's last appearance in this competition ended with four wins in six games, ending in the second spot on the log.

The King’sShield have had a terrible start in the FIFA qualifying campaign with four consecutive defeats. Eswatini march here after displacing Somalia in the Preliminary Round. They won (5-2) aggregate to cement their spot in this group. Eswatini scored once in their last four competitive games, and they are the lowest-ranked side in this group. 

Eswatini's last appearance in this tournament earned them three points from a combined eighteen. 

Guinea Bissau have won their last two games against the guests, scoring six while conceding once. Eswatini have been below par lately, heading here with a win over nine matches in all competitions. On the opposing end, Guinea Bissau have been up and running lately since the introduction of coach Luis Boa Morte. 

Mama Balde and Ze Turbo are expected to start up front for the Djurtus, while Semedo and Bikel will handle the midfield. Guinea Bissau are a ball-playing country, and with their performance against Egypt recently, we expect them to take advantage of their poorly organized opponent.

Guinea Bissau have won their last two games against Eswatini, scoring six times; bet on a total of over 2.5 goals here for 2.37.

We expect the hosts to score in both halves for 2.90.

Good luck!
