Guinea vs Botswana Prediction & Betting Tips

Guinea vs Botswana Preview

Guinea enter this game on the back of a 2-1 victory over Mozambique last Thursday. The hosts took an early lead via Abdoul Karim Traore in the 2nd minute, but Reinildo Mandava scored in the 11th minute to draw Mozambique level. Traore would score his second of the game in the 59th minute, a goal that would go on to win the game for Guinea.

The hosts have not been impressive on home soil with one win, two draws, and one defeat from four matches so far. Making it to World Cup next summer is a luxury for the hosts at the moment, but they will fancy their chances of finishing this qualification campaign on a high. They sit in fourth place in Group G, with 14 points from nine matches.

Meanwhile, things have not been rosy for Botswana, who lost each of their last three World Cup qualifying matches. The South African nation’s performance against Uganda in their recent match was underwhelming as they failed to impose themselves on the opposition. The result ensured that they are without a win in their last five matches, drawing two and losing three.

On the road, Botswana lost three of their four trips in the World Cup qualifiers so far, defeating Somalia 3-1 in June 2024. These poor results have ensured that they are seated in fifth place in Group G, with nine points from nine matches. With the two qualification spots out of reach, Botswana will aim to end their losing streak here.

Guinea vs Botswana Prediction

We back Guinea to emerge victorious in this match because they are unbeaten in their last four matches (2W, 2D), while Botswana is without a victory in five matches (2D, 3L) across all competitions. Over 2.5 goals is highly probable because Botswana’s last four matches averaged 3.5 goals per game while the two meetings between the two nations averaged 4 goals per game.

Lastly, we do not expect both nations to get on the scoresheet because Botswana failed to score in their last two matches while Guinea kept two clean sheets in their last three matches.

• Guinea win to nil @ 2.08 odds
• Over 2.5 goals @ 2.33 odds
