Guinea-Bissau and Swaziland face each other at Estadio Nacional 24 de Setembro, in a match for this phase of the Africa Cup of Nations Qualification (Group Stage). This will be the first direct confrontation between these two teams, since they have never faced each other before. Particular attention is needed for the home / away condition, since both teams have significantly different results at home and abroad.
Guinea-Bissau :
The team of the house will make its premiere in this edition of the competition, since it did not have to dispute any of the qualifiers prior to this group stage. This is a stronger team with the support of his fans, since in the last 30 matches he has recorded 2 wins, 5 draws and 8 losses as a visitor; against 5 wins, 3 draws and 7 losses in his stadium. The team arrives at this match after a home victory with Sao Tome and Principe by (2‑1). In the last 5 games played at home for all competitions, Guinea-Bissau won 2, drew 1 and lost 2. The team allowed goals to the opponent in 7 of the last 10 games, so his defense needs to improve, and his attack needs to improve, since he did not score goals in 7 of the last 10 games.
No doubt the selection of Guinea Bissau wants to qualify, but when analyzing the group in which it is, it is clearly not one of the favorites. There are other stronger teams and this complicates everything, but since the field is played on the court, that’s where you want to surprise. In this round he knows that he has a chance of winning and wants to use the local factor as an ally to score the three points. Even so, to achieve this victory you must play very well and you cannot give margins for mistakes. In this match, the best players available will be on the field.
Eswatini :
The visiting team will make its premiere in this edition of the competition, since it did not have to play any of the qualifiers before this group stage. This is a stronger team with the support of their fans, since in the last 30 games they register 1 win, 7 draws and 7 losses as a visitor, with 10 goals scored and 29 suffered; against 5 wins, 5 draws and 5 losses in his stadium, with 12 goals scored and 14 suffered.

The team allowed goals to the opponent in 8 of the last 10 games, so there are defensive processes that need improvement.
Of course, being in this dispute encourages the Swaziland team, as it is among the best teams in their continent. However, he knows that doing something better is very difficult and, to be more exact, his fight must be against the last place in the group. In order to change your situation, you need to show a higher quality football and you must minimize your mistakes.
