Ethiopia has shown modest results in qualifying, finishing fifth in their group. The team has suffered from serious attacking issues, scoring only 7 goals in 8 matches. A trend toward low totals has been noticeable in recent games, with three of the previous five matches having seen fewer than 2.5 goals.
Guinea-Bissau is also not known for its high scoring, despite its higher position in the table. The team has scored only 8 goals in the current qualifiers and has shown restraint in recent matches, particularly in attack.
Given both teams' low scoring record and weak motivation, a low-scoring outcome is most likely, as Ethiopia and Guinea-Bissau will not be in the top two of Group A.
