Equatorial Guinea vs São Tomé Prediction: This encounter will produce more than two goals

On Friday, Equatorial Guinea will face off against São Tomé in the fifth round of the FIFA World Cup qualifier at the Nuevo Estadio de Malabo Stadium. The Elephants will play in the AFCON tournament for the third year running, and they’ll be keen to compete in the most prestigious competition in what seems to be an easy group. 

Equatorial Guinea

FIFA Ranking: 93th

Last four matches: LWLW

The Elephants returned to winning ways after their slim (1-0) loss against Tunisia in their FIFA World Cup journey. Equatorial Guinea scored once against Malawi to secure their second win of the group. It wasn’t an easy game as they had to wait till the 81st minute before they could get a winner. After their successful run in the AFCON Championship last year, Equatorial Guinea secured their spot in the forthcoming edition. 

The Elephants have picked up six points from a combined twelve, sitting in second place on the standing. 

Juan Micha's men are always very direct with their game plan; however, they have a stern test ahead of their clash against São Tomé tomorrow. 

São Tomé

FIFA Ranking: 189th

Last four matches: LLLL

The Falcons and the Parrots team are among the lowest-ranked in the qualifier and have lost four successive games in this round. São Tomé suffered defeats against Tunisia, Liberia, Malawi, and Namibia. They have conceded ten goals and occupy the last spot on the log, while finding the back of the net once. 

São Tomé's last competitive win was in 2016; since then, they have lost twenty-one times and drawn three.

Expert Betting Tips

Equatorial Guinea will appear in the forthcoming AFCON tournament later this year after wrapping up their campaign in second place. The Elephants are really a solid side but sometimes switch off during games. They won’t have a problem against São Tomé, who are one of the lowest ranked in the competition. 

They are not a side that scores lots of goals, and I’m not sure if this game will produce more than two goals. However, considering they are playing against a São Tomé defense that have conceded more than two goals in their last FIFA World Cup away games, I think they’ll score more than two times this time for 1.85 at (1xbet).

Also, the hosts should start strong and get a win before the break for 1.70 at (Bet365).

This game will also produce more goals after the break for 2.23 at (Betway).

Good luck!
