World Cup 2026 (Q): Guinea-Bissau aims for victory against Djibouti

Guinea-Bissau will host Djibouti this Monday for the 8th matchday of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. It’s a clash between two teams on very different trajectories, but with a clear favorite emerging.

The Djurtus are currently going through a rough patch. In seven games, they've managed just one win and have suffered four defeats. Their last outing ended in a 1-1 draw against Sierra Leone—an encouraging result, but not enough to mask their attacking and defensive shortcomings (3 goals scored, 9 conceded). Sitting fourth in Group A with 7 points, they must win to keep their qualification hopes alive.

On the other side, Djibouti’s situation is even more precarious. The Red Sea Boys are bottom of the group with just one point and six losses. Their heavy 6-0 defeat to Burkina Faso highlights their vulnerabilities—especially at the back—with 19 goals conceded in their last five matches.

Given the current momentum, Guinea-Bissau approach this fixture eager to set the pace and treat their fans to a resounding victory. Djibouti, meanwhile, will be fighting to limit the damage and salvage some pride.
