Matchup between Somalia and Guinea is shaping to be one of those affairs where recent results gets out the window. Kicking off
Somalia’s been hot and cold, their showings swinging from brilliant to head-scratching. Meanwhile, Guinea’s scrapping through a tough stretch, their backline looking unstable.
Looking at past contests, it’s a crapshoot. Somalia’s had the advantage lately, but the game’s got a terrible memory.
For what it’s worth: Both outfits’ve got issues. Somalia’s center park’s off-rhythm, while Guinea’s frontline craves a cutting edge.
