The Elephants returned to winning ways after their slim (1-0) loss against Tunisia in their FIFA World Cup journey. Equatorial Guinea scored once against Malawi to secure their second win of the group. It wasn’t an easy game as they had to wait till the 81st minute before they could get a winner. After their successful run in the AFCON Championship last year, Equatorial Guinea secured their spot in the forthcoming edition.
The Elephants have picked up six points from a combined twelve, sitting in second place on the standing.
Juan Micha's men are always very direct with their game plan; however, they have a stern test ahead of their clash against São Tomé tomorrow.

Expert Betting Tips
Equatorial Guinea will appear in the forthcoming AFCON tournament later this year after wrapping up their campaign in second place. The Elephants are really a solid side but sometimes switch off during games. They won’t have a problem against São Tomé, who are one of the lowest ranked in the competition.
They are not a side that scores lots of goals, and I’m not sure if this game will produce more than two goals. However, considering they are playing against a São Tomé defense that have conceded more than two goals in their last FIFA World Cup away games, I think they’ll score more than two times this time for 1.85 at (1xbet).
Also, the hosts should start strong and get a win before the break for 1.70 at (Bet365).
This game will also produce more goals after the break for 2.23 at (Betway).
Good luck!
