When Equatorial Guinea and Guinea face each other on Sunday evening, a spot in the final eight of the 2024 Africa Cup of Nations will be up for grabs.
Equatorial Guinea has not frequently competed in AFCON finals, but their sporadic participation has resulted in significant recognition. This marks the fourth time The Elephants have made it to the competition’s finals, with all previous instances resulting in progress to the quarter-finals. Juan Micha’s team aims to maintain this record on Sunday, but first they must overcome Guinea.
Meanwhile, Guinea is participating in this competition for the eleventh time in their history. Similar to Equatorial Guinea, Kaba Diawara’s team has never claimed victory in the tournament. The National Elephants were previously ousted at this stage by Gambia during the last match in Cameroon, and they will undoubtedly be seeking payback this time around.
Equatorial Guinea vs Guinea Betting Tips: Equatorial Guinea to win or draw
In my opinion, Guinea is the favourite in Sunday’s game, largely due to their historical record of advancing past this stage three times. So far, Kaba Diawara’s team hasn’t made a strong impression on me in this competition. They barely managed a draw in their first game against Cameroon and only just beat Gambia to qualify for this round.
Equatorial Guinea is the team to keep an eye on. The Elephants boast of having the tournament’s top scorer, Emilio Nsue, and have recently embarrassed the host team, Côte d’Ivoire, with a 4-0 win in their last game. Additionally, Equatorial Guinea managed to score four goals against Guinea-Bissau on the second matchday.

Equatorial Guinea team news
Emilio Nsue has surpassed Juvenal Edjogo-Owono in Equatorial Guinea’s all-time goalscoring list by eight goals, thanks to his five goals scored in this tournament so far.
The 34-year-old is set to play his 40th match for the national team this Sunday. Additionally, he could be joined in the final third by Iván Salvador, who has scored two goals in this tournament already, and Jannick Buyla.

Guinea team news
Despite struggling with an injury, Stuttgart’s Serhou Guirassy managed to play for over 60 minutes in their last match against Senegal.
Naby Keïta, who previously played for Liverpool, also played for over an hour in that game and is expected to maintain his position as number 10. Meanwhile, Ibrahim Diakité is hopeful to play in the defensive position.
