Guinea vs Eritrea Predictions

Guinea are strong favourites against an Eritrea side that suffered a heavy defeat to South Africa in their previous qualifier. With Guinea's outright win odds offering little value, backing the hosts to win to nil looks the more attractive option.

Head-to-Head

Guinea and Eritrea have no recorded previous senior international meetings.

Guinea Form

Guinea have collected three points from their opening two qualifiers, leaving them second in Group D behind South Africa.

They began with a 2-1 defeat away to Bafana Bafana before responding with a 1-0 home victory over Kenya.

Those results leave Guinea three points behind South Africa, making victory over Eritrea important to their qualification ambitions.

Coach Paulo Duarte faces a selection concern over Borussia Dortmund striker Serhou Guirassy, who is expected to miss the match through injury.

Despite that setback, Guinea should possess sufficient quality to overcome opponents who have struggled defensively.

Eritrea Form

Eritrea have taken one point from their first two group matches and sit third in the standings.

They opened with a 1-1 draw away to Kenya, having led before conceding a late equaliser.

Their next qualifier ended in a comprehensive 5-0 defeat against South Africa in Cairo.

Eritrea were already two goals behind at half-time and conceded three more after the break, highlighting the defensive problems they face against stronger opposition.

They previously defeated Eswatini 2-1 in March to progress through the preliminary qualifying round.

Verdict

Guinea v Eritrea

A comfortable home victory without conceding looks the strongest betting option.
