PREDICTION

Equatorial Guinea's build-up to these qualifiers has been overshadowed by the news of captain and top scorer Emilio Nsue being banned for six months due to ineligibility. Despite this setback, they showed resilience in their recent 1-0 loss to Tunisia, with Mohamed Ali Ben Romdhane scoring an 82nd-minute penalty to clinch the match.

Malawi, meanwhile, comes into this game on the back of a comfortable 3-1 victory over Sao Tome e Principe, marking their second win in three qualifiers. Although Equatorial Guinea faces off-field challenges, their home advantage and overall stronger squad suggest they can hold their own. A low-scoring match with a double chance bet in favour of Equatorial Guinea seems the prudent choice.
