Eswatini is set to host Guinea Bissau in an Africa Cup of Nations qualifier, where pride will be the primary motivator for the home team. Already out of contention, Eswatini aims to finish strong, but for Guinea Bissau, this match represents a crucial opportunity to keep their qualification hopes alive. Currently four points adrift, they need a win to stay in the race, with coach Luis Boa Morte’s side eager to capitalize on any potential slip-ups from teams above.
In their last three encounters, Guinea Bissau has emerged victorious each time, though their most recent win over Eswatini in September was a hard-fought 1-0 result. Another win would give Guinea Bissau a lifeline, though it wouldn’t secure their qualification just yet. For Boa Morte’s men, returning from Eswatini with three points is essential to keep their slim chances intact.
The match will be played at 16:00 GMT at the Mbombela Stadium, South Africa.
