On Monday, March 24, in the 6th round match of the CAF zone qualification for the 2026 World Cup, Namibia will play at home against Equatorial Guinea. I suggest betting on the number of goals in this match.
Interesting facts about the match and head-to-head history
- This game will take place on neutral ground in Johannesburg, South Africa.
- In the last three matches involving Namibia, only 1 goal was scored.
- In the previous 5 matches, Equatorial Guinea scored only 1 goal.
- This is only the second match in history between these teams. Namibia won the first game 3-0.
Match preview
The Namibia national team is very modest even by African standards. Therefore, its performance in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers is quite surprising. Currently, Namibia ranks second in the group with 11 points, and is only 2 points behind the leading Tunisia.
According to the regulations, the 4 best teams that finish in second place will advance to the 2026 World Cup. Namibia is currently in this group of four. However, Colin Benjamin's team failed to qualify for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, earning 2 points in their group and finishing last.
In the previous match, Namibia managed to narrowly defeat Malawi away (1-0).
Equatorial Guinea is experiencing quite successful times, as they have regularly reached the final stages of the Africa Cup, something they hadn't achieved before. In the AFCON 2025 qualifiers, Juan Micha's team finished second in their group, only behind Algeria.
However, Equatorial Guinea is currently failing in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. In 5 matches, they have only 6 points and are in fifth place. The "National Lightning" started with three consecutive defeats but won the last games against Malawi (1-0) and São Tomé and Príncipe (2-0).
Probable lineups
- Namibia: Maova, Hanamub, Hambira, Petrus, Damaseb, Joseph, Hotto, Fredericks, Katua, Shalulile, Tjiueza
- Equatorial Guinea: Owono, Akapo, Orozco, Ndong, Coco, Mascarell, Salvador, Ganet, Machin, Nsue, Asue
Prediction for Namibia vs Equatorial Guinea
Namibia prefers to play cautious football, and the stakes are extremely high for both teams in this match. My bet is on a total of under 2.5 goals.
