Eritrea Looks for Its First Victory After Narrow Defeat in Conakry
Eritrea enters the encounter at the bottom of Group D with one point from its opening three matches.
The Red Sea Camels began their qualifying campaign with a 1-1 draw against Kenya on September 26. Nahom Girmai Netabay gave Eritrea the lead before Ryan Ogam equalized in the 87th minute.
Four days later, Eritrea suffered a heavy 5-0 defeat against South Africa in Cairo, with Relebohile Mofokeng scoring twice for Bafana Bafana.
Their most recent match ended in a 2-1 defeat against Guinea on November 12. Despite falling two goals behind, substitute Maill Lundgren pulled one back in the 82nd minute, giving Eritrea hope of a comeback.
The Eritrean Football Federation selected a 24-player squad for the November double-header, with the team aiming to secure its first victory and improve its position in the group.
Guinea Looks to Extend Its Winning Streak Without Serhou Guirassy
Guinea, managed by Paulo Duarte, has collected six points from its opening three matches and currently occupies second place in Group D.
The Syli National began with a 2-1 defeat against South Africa before recovering with a 1-0 victory over Kenya, thanks to a goal from Serhou Guirassy.
Guinea continued its recovery on November 12, defeating Eritrea 2-1 in Conakry.
Mohamed Soumah opened the scoring with a header in the 13th minute, while Yakhouba Barry doubled the advantage shortly after halftime.
However, Duarte must manage several important absences. Guirassy, Lamine Diaby-Fadiga and Ilaix Moriba were ruled out of the November international window, with Bertin Simitri Jacquesson, Kerfalla Dada Cissoko and Mohamed Chérif Haïdara called up as replacements.

Guinea Closes In on South Africa in Group D
South Africa leads Group D with seven points after drawing 2-2 against Kenya on November 13. Guinea follows with six points, while Kenya has two and Eritrea remains fourth with one.
With Kenya already qualified as one of the 2027 tournament's co-hosts, only the highest-placed team among South Africa, Guinea and Eritrea will secure the group's additional qualification spot.
Another victory would allow Guinea to maintain pressure on South Africa, while Eritrea needs points to remain competitive before the final qualifying matches.
