Djibouti vs Guinea-Bissau Prediction, kick-off time, TV, live stream, team news, h2h results, odds

The second round of CAF World Cup Qualifiers continues next week, with Djibouti hoping to get off to a good start against Guinea-Bissau on Monday evening.

Due to the lack of a stadium in Djibouti that meets FIFA requirements for hosting an international match, this game will be played in Egypt at the Cario International Stadium.

Predictions for the game

On November 14, 2023, Guinea-Bissau
Djibouti is Africa's fourth-lowest-ranked nation, and we saw why in their first match of the competition, when they were thoroughly beaten by a star-studded Egyptian side.

Mohamed Salah was at his destructive best in that match, scoring twice in each half to put Djibouti out of reach before Mostafa Mohamed and Trezeguet completed the 6-0 rout.

As a result, the Shoremen of the Red Sea have now lost three consecutive competitive matches, and they have not won a match in regulation time since December 2019.

Djibouti failed to advance past the preliminary round of the African Cup of Nations qualifiers earlier this year, losing 5-2 on aggregate to South Sudan, and against an improving opponent here, the hosts' chances in this one do not look promising.

Meanwhile, Guinea-Bissau has been one of the most improved teams on the African continent in recent years, and they have started their World Cup qualification campaign well.

On Friday evening, the African wild dogs held Burkina Faso, who are ranked nearly fifty places higher in the world, to a 1-1 draw, with Manuel Balde scoring the game-winning goal in the first 20 minutes.

They are now unbeaten in their last three competitive matches, including back-to-back victories over Sao Tome and Principe and Sierra Leone, which secured qualification for the upcoming AFCON in early January.

Guinea-Bissau has never qualified for the FIFA World Cup since their first attempt in 1998, and while Egypt is the clear favourite to win this group, the visitors will want to keep the pressure on The Pharaohs until the two meet in week four.
