Guinea vs Gambia Predictions

• Gambia have won each of their last two meetings with Guinea 1-0
• Five of Guinea’s last six matches have featured under 2.5 goals

Gambia can edge to a vital victory

Gambia were well beaten by reigning Africa Cup of Nations holders Senegal in their Group C opener on Monday but they can bounce back with a victory over Guinea.

The Scorpions had no answer to a rampant Senegal, but there is no disgrace in losing to the best team in Africa who are warm favourites to win back-to-back titles.

And history is on Gambia’s side in this contest, having won two of their three meetings with Guinea while drawing the other 2-2.

Each of those two wins came courtesy of a 1-0 scoreline and we predict a similar outcome in this latest meeting.

There was a lot to like about Guinea’s opening fixture in which they drew 1-1 with Cameroon despite being down to ten men for the whole of the second half.

They could keep things tight again, and it is difficult to envisage many goals being scored.

Goals unlikely to flow in crucial clash

Neither side will want to lose this match and that could lead to a cagey affair in Yamoussoukro.

Another defeat would leave Gambia on the verge of elimination, while Guinea will want to strengthen their claims in a competitive section.

That could see both sides play with plenty of caution so the main prediction is for this match to finish with no more than two goals.

That was the outcome in the previous two meetings between these nations, and with Gambia having won those two fixtures 1-0, that looks a solid way to go for correct-score punters.
