Guinea vs. Eritrea: How and Where to Watch LIVE

Guinea will host Eritrea on Thursday, November 12, for Matchday 3 of the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations Qualifiers.

The encounter is scheduled for Stade du 28 Septembre in Conakry, Guinea, with kickoff officially set for 11:50 AM ET / 8:50 PM PT. Fans in the United States can find the English-language event on beIN SPORTS CONNECT.

Guinea enters the fixture in second place in Group D with three points, while Eritrea has collected one point from its opening two matches.

How Guinea Comes Into the Match

Guinea enters Thursday's encounter looking to build on its first victory of the qualification campaign.

The team coached by Paulo Duarte began its Group D campaign with a 2-1 away defeat against South Africa on September 26.

Seydouba Cissé scored Guinea's equalizer, but a second-half goal from Samukele Kabini secured all three points for the hosts.

However, the Syli National responded on October 1 with a 1-0 home victory over Kenya.

Serhou Guirassy scored the decisive goal in the 32nd minute, allowing Guinea to move into second place with three points.

Despite that recovery, Duarte faces significant selection difficulties ahead of the Eritrea double-header.

The Guinean Football Federation confirmed that Guirassy, Lamine Diaby-Fadiga, and Ilaix Moriba will miss the November international window.

Bertin Simitri Jacquesson, Kerfalla Dada Cissoko, and Mohamed Chérif Haïdara have been called up as replacements.

Guinea will now attempt to overcome those absences and secure another important victory in front of its supporters.

How Eritrea Comes Into the Match

Eritrea travels to Conakry searching for its first victory in Group D.

The team began its campaign with an encouraging 1-1 draw against Kenya on September 26.

Nahom Girmai Netabay gave Eritrea the lead, but Ryan Ogam scored an 87th-minute equalizer for the tournament co-hosts.

Four days later, Eritrea suffered a 5-0 defeat against South Africa in Cairo.

Relebohile Mofokeng scored twice for Bafana Bafana, while Sphephelo Sithole, Iqraam Rayners, and Luther Singh completed the scoring.

The Eritrean Football Federation has announced a 24-player squad for the two upcoming matches against Guinea.

With one point from its opening two qualifiers, Eritrea will look to recover from that heavy defeat and remain competitive in the race for a place at the continental tournament.

Guinea vs. Eritrea: A Crucial Double-Header in Group D

There is an important qualification detail that makes this encounter especially significant.

Kenya has already secured a place at the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations as one of the three host nations, alongside Tanzania and Uganda.

As a result, only the highest-placed team among South Africa, Guinea, and Eritrea will qualify from Group D.

South Africa currently leads with six points, followed by Guinea with three. Eritrea and Kenya have one point each.

The two nations will meet again on Monday, November 16, with Eritrea's home fixture scheduled to take place in Cairo, Egypt.

For Guinea, the double-header represents an opportunity to challenge South Africa's advantage. For Eritrea, it offers a chance to revive its qualification campaign.
