Equatorial Guinea vs Tunisia Predictions
The qualifiers for the African Cup of Nations are currently underway, and they are generating some interesting matchups. The most recent of these was Equatorial Guinea hosting Tunisia, with the visitors looking to stay at the top of Group J after dismantling Libya 4-1 in their opening match. Yet, things were not so easy for the Tunisians, and the match ended up as a qualifier for the World Cup instead of the African Cup of Nations—both teams went at it fiercely. Equatorial Guinea had lost its opening match 2-1 to Tanzania and badly needed a result.
In terms of actual paper, Tunisia is the reigning favorite to win the match with a healthy margin. The North African nation will be riding a strong wave of momentum after their weekend result in which they displayed a potent offense. In their last five matches, Tunisia has come out on top three times, with just one blemish. That setback came in a match against Cameroon, which was the only occasion in recent memory where the national team has failed to find the back of the net. On that night, the Eagles of Carthage were held to a scoreless draw at home.
Equatorial Guinea vs Tunisia Preview
If the 2021 FIFA ranking for Tunisia is any indication of how the match will turn out, it looks like this game is already over and done with. The Tunisian national tea,m is currently among the 30 best teams in the world, and their lineup features well known players such as Wahbi Khazri and Saif-Eddine Khaoui, who both play in Ligue 1 and are household names. This past weekend, both Khaoui and Khazri were stars on the pitch, as each of them found the back of the net twice.
Equatorial Guinea is in misfortune. They lost to Tanzania after a last-gasp goal saw them suffer a second defeat on the trot. The number of defeats has now reached four, and head coach Sebastien Migne has his cut-out work to do not to make it five when they next face Cape Verde in a return leg on March 30, 2021. Migne was only just recently hired. With only nine days to prepare the squad, was it really fair to assign so much blame to him when the squad has just picked up four consecutive defeats?
Equatorial Guinea vs Tunisia Betting Tips
The Tunisian team is in a good position to secure two victories in its group. It should be smooth sailing for the Carthage Eagles until next year’s second round of World Cup qualifiers. Their next opponent, Equatorial Guinea, hasn’t played in the AFCON since 2015 when host status got it an automatic entry. The next time the Nzalang Nacional takes the field in an AFCON, it will earn that slot on merit.
