Equatorial Guinea vs Togo Match Analysis & Prediction
09/09/2024 6:00 pm
Equatorial Guinea and Togo will meet at Nuevo Estadio de Malabo on Monday evening in the second round of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
Despite holding on for over an hour, Equatorial Gunea ultimately succumbed to pressure, condeding two goals in the last 20 minutes of the game to lose 2-0 to Algeria in round one of the AFCON qualifiers last Thursday.
The Nzalang Nacional saw their poor form on the road extend, having failed to win any of their last six away matches, which includes four losses and two draws.
After exiting the 2023 AFCON in the round of 16, Juan Micha’s side will hope to quickly bounce back from this defeat as they aim to make it to three straight editions for the first time in history.
Meanwhile, Togo will enter this contest with a “what if” feeling, having failed to secure a win against Liberia on home soil last Friday despite leading the game until stoppage time.
Twenty-three-year-old Cercle Brugge forward Kevin Denkey put the Sparrow Hawks ahead in the 79th minute, but a 92nd-minute goal from Liberia’s Willie Gibson ensured the game ended 1-1.
Dare Nibombe’s side have now failed to win any of their last four matches, including a 1-1 draw in a friendly game with Libya, a 1-1 stalemate with South Sudan and a 1-0 defeat to the Democratic Republic of Congo in the World Cup qualifiers.
The top two teams in each group at the end of the AFCON qualifiers will secure a spot in Morocco next year, and given Algeria’s pedigree and quality, it could be a direct battle for the other place between Togo and their hosts Equatorial Guinea.

Equatorial Guinea Team News
Iban Salvador found the back of the net in Equatorial Guinea’s most recent home game against Malawi, and he will be the one to keep an eye on again.
Luis Nlavo ended his five-year international drought against Cambodia in March, but he has failed to score in the last four matches, which could prompt Micha to replace him with Josete Miranda in attack.

Denkey is expected to keep his place in attack alongside his experienced strike partner Fo-Doh Kodjo Laba, who is second in the nation’s all-time scoring chart with 19 goals in 51 caps.
In defence, the back four of Dakonam Djene, Kennedy Kofi Boateng, Josue Homawoo and Khaled Narey will likely remain unchanged from the last game.
