Tunisia vs Equatorial Guinea Prediction and Betting Tips | June 5th 2024
Tunisia and Equatorial Guinea return to action in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers when they square off at the Stade Olympique Hammadi Agrebi on Wednesday. Montasser Louhichi’s men have won their opening two matches and will be looking to maintain their 100% record in Group H.
Tunisia returned to winning ways last time out when they beat New Zealand on penalties in a friendly matchup back in March.
Prior to that, Louhichi’s men failed to win their previous four matches across all competitions, a run which condemned them to a group-stage exit in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.
Tunisia now turn their attention to the World Cup qualifiers, where they kicked off the campaign with a 4-0 victory over Sao Tome and Principe on November 17, four days before seeing off Malawi 1-0 at the Bingu National Stadium.
Meanwhile, Equatorial Guinea have been forced to forfeit their first two games in Group H after being penalised by the FIFA Disciplinary Committee for fielding ineligible striker Emilio Nsue.
Juan Micha’s men had won the two matches, claiming 1-0 victories over Namibia and 10-man Liberia, with Nsue netting the only goal of the game in both games.
Following their six-point deduction, Equatorial Guinea have plunged to fifth place in Group H, level with rock-bottom Sao Tome.
