Head-to-Head

Madagascar and Guinea-Bissau meet for the first time this Thursday.

Madagascar Form

Madagascar sit on one point after their opening two qualifiers, having lost 2-1 away to Nigeria before drawing 1-1 against Tanzania.

Their performance in Nigeria was competitive, but they were unable to secure a result. They subsequently recovered from falling behind against Tanzania to collect their first point of the campaign.

Earlier in 2026, Madagascar suffered a 4-0 friendly defeat against Morocco, drew 1-1 with Equatorial Guinea and recorded a 5-2 victory over Kyrgyzstan.

Those results underline their inconsistency, although they have scored in four of their last five internationals.

Guinea-Bissau Form

Guinea-Bissau lead Group L with six points after an impressive start to qualification.

They opened with a 2-0 away victory over Tanzania before defeating Nigeria 3-0, scoring five goals across the two matches without conceding.

That represents a significant improvement on their final two 2026 World Cup qualifiers, when they lost 1-0 away to Ethiopia and Egypt.

Guinea-Bissau have now won three of their last five competitive internationals, keeping three clean sheets during that period.

Their defensive improvement gives them a strong chance of collecting another positive result, although their away record remains less convincing than their recent home performances.

Verdict

Madagascar v Guinea-Bissau

A closely contested match could finish level.
