Ethiopia vs Guinea-Bissau: Prediction for the Match on October 08, 2025
Ethiopia will host Guinea-Bissau at the Stade Amahoro stadium with hopes of securing their second victory of the qualifying round. Djurtus, on the other hand, are five points behind second-placed Burkina Faso, which means they need to secure all wins in their remaining two games and hope for Burkina Faso to suffer losses in their remaining two games as well. Ethiopia has lost the plot, and this is the end of their World Cup dreams. A draw is fair for the hosts, but a disappointing one for the visitors, who require all wins to even stand a chance at all.

Ethiopia’s campaign came running down with a 2-0 demolition by Sierra Leone in their last qualifiers, leaving them with 6 points and out of contention. They aim to secure their second victory of the Qualifiers when they welcome Guinea-Bissau on Wednesday, though the possibility of them achieving this is very slim.
The Walia Ibex have lost two consecutive qualifier games, and the possibility of them losing this is quite high given their current form. They have an overall statistics of a win, 3 draws, and 4 losses from the 8 qualifier games they’ve played. The home team has very little to play for in this game, and they’ve had a really bad campaign in the qualifiers.

Ethiopia: Possible Lineup
Ethiopia has no injury concerns heading into this game. Nasir Ahmed, the hat-trick hero against Djibouti in their only win of the qualifiers, might not be available for this game.
🔖 Ethiopia Possible lineup (4-1-4-1)

The Djurtus will be hoping to capitalize on Ethiopia’s poor form, and Ethiopia has nothing substantial to play for in this game. The Djurtus defeated Djibouti in their last game, but that’s not a victory to be loud about, as Djibouti is just bonus points for the team in Group A.
The Djurtus are only 5 points behind second-placed Burkina Faso, and they still have an opportunity to finish second and keep their World Cup dreams alive if they win their remaining two games and hope for hell to let loose on Burkina Faso.
Luis Boa Morte's team has 10 points from eight games, placing them five points behind Burkina Faso and 10 points behind Egypt, who have 20. Their last game is against Egypt, and it leaves us to wonder if the struggles are really worth it because they face a tough challenge in their final match.

Guinea-Bissau: Possible Lineup
There are a few injury concerns for The Djurtus, and they will head into this game with the same players who secured the victory against Djibouti in their last game, except Mama Balde. Mama Balde is a huge miss for Luis Boa Morte as Balde is the team's top scorer in the qualifiers with three goals to his name.
🔖 Guinea-Bissau Potential Starting Lineup (4-3-3)
Balde — Rodrigues, Mane, Cande, Simao, — Dalcio, Nogueira, Mamadi Camara — Dju, Monteiro, Folgado
👤Head coach: Luis Boa Morte
