Botswana vs Equatorial Guinea Prediction: A close contest that could either way

In the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying, Botswana will be playing Equatorial Guinea on Tuesday at the Francistown Stadium in Francistown. 

Botswana - will be strong at home

Saul Coco-Bassey and Federico Bikoro scored the goals that decided the game as the National Thunder defeated the Zebras 2-0. The home team took the lead thanks to a goal from Coco-Bassey in the 20th minute, and then Bikoro extended their advantage just after the hour mark. Tumisang Orebonye, who currently plays for Morocco, might return to the Botswanan attack, while Lebogang Ditsele, who currently plays for Morocco, could provide crucial experience in the middle of the field. In their most recent five matches across all competitions, Botswana have failed to win a single one of them.

Equatorial Guinea - a lot of offensive play needed to earn a victory

Guinea will try to keep up the high level of play they showed the week before in the first half of this match. Yet, despite the fact that they will be traveling this time, the visiting Guineans will be optimistic that things will still go in their favor because they are now positioned in second place in Group J with six points. Luis Nlavo, a rising star for Guinea, might get a chance to show what he can do in attack, but Guinea's starting goalkeeper, Jesus Owono, should keep his spot in front of the net instead of Aitor Embela.

Expert Betting Tips

Botswana, which is placed 51 lower than Guinea, has had a poor qualifying campaign, primarily due to the fact that their offense lacks any bite. However, looking at how great the National Thunder have been so far in the qualifying stages, I envisage a 0-1 victory for them in this match.
