Guinea-Bissau vs Djibouti: Prediction and odds on the Match on 08 September 2025

Guinea-Bissau will continue their fight for a second-place finish in Group A when they welcome Djibouti to the Estádio Nacional 24 de Setembro on Monday. Djibouti have conceded 26 goals in these qualification rounds, which places them second-worst defence in Africa just after Seychelles (34). How will this game unfold? Below is a match preview and well-analyzed betting opportunities.

Guinea-Bissau: form and statistics

Guinea-Bissau played a 1-1 draw in their last game against Sierra Leone. They were 1-0 down before the halftime break, before Mama Balde scored the equaliser in the 74th minute. Prior to this result, they had lost seven straight games and are now winless in their last 12 games in all competitions. Their hope of moving closer to a spot in the 2026 World Cup ended after their last draw, and the country continues to wait for their first-ever taste of a World Cup game. They currently sit 4th in Group A with seven points in seven games, scoring six goals and conceding eight. With nine points left to fight for, they are 12 points behind top-placed Egypt and seven points behind second-placed Burkina Faso.

Guinea-Bissau: Team News and Lineup

The Dromedaries will come out strong in this game for a miraculous fight for second place in the group. With no fresh injury concern, Ouparine Djoco will continue to start in goal, and a back four of Encada, S. Mane, Cande, and Imbeni will continue their assignment.

Guinea-Bissau Expected Lineup

Ouparine Djoco; Encada, S. Mane, Cande, Imbeni; Nogueira, Dalcio; C. Mane, Camara, Balde; Beto

Djibouti: form and statistics

Djibouti suffered a humiliating 6-0 loss against Burkina Faso in their last game, managing 22% possession of the ball in the game. The Shoremen of the Red Sea have now lost their last four games and have not tasted a win in all seven qualifying games so far. They had lost six and drawn one. Interestingly, they have conceded at least four goals in each of their last three games. That’s how their defence is. They remain winless in their last ten games in all competitions, which places them bottom of Group A with just one point in seven games, scoring four goals and conceding 26.

Guinea-Bissau vs Djibouti match prediction, 08 September 2025

Djibouti's defence is as bad as anything, and this has cost them a series of games in the past. There are no visible changes in the defence at the moment after losing 6-0 in their last game, though with ten men. With this, I expect a high-scoring game here with the hosts getting all maximum points.
