Published: Thursday, 18 January 2024

Action In Group A returns at the Alassane Ouattara Stadium In the TotalEnergies CAF Africa Cup of Nations Côte d'Ivoire 2023 with Equitorial Guinea playing against Guinea Bissau. 

The Djurtus lost their opening game against host, Côte d'Ivoire In the opening game of the TotalEnergies CAF AFCON and Equatorial Guinea managed a point against Nigeria. 

A defeat against Equatorial Guinea will mean Guinea Bissau are without a win In their last 11 TotalEnergies CAF AFCON games. To make it worse, they have failed to score a goal in the last 8 games. 

This put Juan Michá’ side who are unbeaten In their last three TotalEnergies CAF AFCON group games as the favorites for the clash on Thursday. 

Equatorial Guinea’s main man is Iban Salvador. He has scored or assisted In three different TotalEnergies CAF AFCON editions (two goals, one assist) since making his debut In the competition In 2015. 

He will be key for the National Thunders In the game if they are to record a win.
