Match Result Prediction: Equatorial Guinea to Win

Our first Botswana vs Equatorial Guinea prediction backs Equatorial Guinea to win the game. After two consecutive home wins in the AFCON qualifiers, which includes a 2-0 win over Botswana, the visitors play for the second time away from home in the AFCON qualifiers. We expect a narrow victory from Equatorial Guinea in their second-ever duel against Botswana.

Total Match Goals Prediction: Under 2.5 Goals

Botswana may be the side to lose this game but we don't expect it to be a loss by a large margin. The hosts still have a narrow chance to participate in the AFCON, so this home game is their performance chance to show what they are made of. Bet on the game to end with fewer than 3 goals. The first leg was highly competitive a match that Botswana dominated away from home with 55% ball passion, so we expect to see an even better side in this home game.

Correct Score Prediction: 0-1 to Equatorial Guinea

Our last Botswana vs Equatorial Guinea prediction is a correct score of 0-1 in favour of Equatorial Guinea. Equatorial Guinea kicked off the qualifiers with a 4-0 defeat away from home against Tunisians but won 2-0 at home in the second and the third rounds when they hosted Libya and Botswana. This is the second meeting with Botswana and Equatorial Guinea remains our favourite to win it. Botswana is yet to score a goal heading into the fourth round.

Botswana vs Equatorial Guinea Preview

Botswana

Botswana hasn't been the best team in African football. The visitor currently occupies the last spot in Group J with only 1 point from 3 games. The hosts have not scored any goal and could further face a humiliating defeat when they host Equatorial Guinea for the return leg on Tuesday, 28th March 2023. The visitors are currently position 149 in the global football ranking by FIFA. Botswana is yet to score a goal ahead of this fourth round and will be without defender Thabo Kebue who was sent packing with a second yellow card in the reverse meeting with Equatorial Guinea.

With only a point from three rounds, Botswsana's chances of participating in the next AFCON are very limited. They have been very poor offensively, having failed to score so far after three roads and conceding an average of 1.00 goals.

Equatorial Guinea

Equatorial Guinea is currently 2nd in Group J of AFCON 2023 qualifiers with 6 points. They earned three points from a home game against Botswana in the last game and another three points against Libya before that. They have now won two games in a row with a similar scoreline of 2-0 clean sheets against Botswana and Lbya. The visitors need a point to displace Tunisia from the top spot. However, the biggest challenge for Equatorial Guinea has been poor defending and they have not been very good at scoring goals either. The visitors have leaked 4 goals and conceded 4 while table toppers Tunisia are yet to concede a goal after scoring 7 goals in three rounds.
