This International Friendly clash on June 4 brings together two women’s sides with very different recent histories. Almeria (W) have been largely inactive over recent months, with no recorded results in the last 30 days or across 2026, making their competitive readiness a genuine question mark. Equatorial Guinea (W) carry a more active record, and their form string of tells a story of a team capable of winning but prone to late dips. Both squads share the same head coach in Jeff Strasser, which adds an unusual dynamic to this fixture and could make tactical prediction particularly difficult.
One player to watch on the Equatorial Guinea side is whoever leads their attacking line, given the team has demonstrated a capacity to score against varied opposition, including back-to-back 3-0 wins over Libya (W). On the Almeria side, their last recorded match ended in a narrow 7-6 defeat to La Solana (W), suggesting they are capable of contributing to open, high-scoring affairs when they do take the field.
Hot stat: Equatorial Guinea (W) recorded consecutive 3-0 victories over Libya (W) in September 2023, showing they can perform convincingly against lower-ranked opposition. Almeria’s only recent result was a 13-goal thriller against La Solana (W), which they lost 6-7.

Almeria (W) vs Equatorial Guinea (W) prediction
With both teams sharing the same coach, this match is genuinely difficult to call from a tactical standpoint. Strasser knows both squads intimately, which could neutralize any structural advantage either side might hold. That said, Equatorial Guinea (W) have played far more recently and carry real competitive rhythm into this fixture. Almeria (W) have no 2026 matches on record, and their last outing was a high-energy but ultimately losing effort.
We predict Equatorial Guinea (W) to win this match. Their activity level, combined with a form string that includes three consecutive wins, gives them a clear edge in match sharpness. Almeria’s inactivity is simply too significant a factor to overlook.
The Almeria (W) vs La Solana result also hints at a side that struggles defensively when pressed, which Equatorial Guinea’s more direct approach could exploit. Their wins over Libya (W) were clean and controlled, suggesting they are capable of managing a match when they hold the upper hand.
In terms of style, without detailed per-match foul and card data available for either team, we lean on the broader picture. Equatorial Guinea’s recent matches suggest a direct, result-oriented approach. Almeria’s high-scoring loss points to a more open defensive shape. This combination could produce goals at both ends, though Equatorial Guinea are better positioned to come out ahead.

Team Analysis
Almeria (W) have essentially been off the competitive radar throughout 2026. Their only traceable result comes from September 2023, a 6-7 loss to La Solana (W), a match that reveals a team willing to attack but vulnerable at the back. With no recorded activity in the past 30 days and no wins registered this year, it is very hard to build a confident case for them here. The long layoff raises serious fitness and cohesion concerns going into a match against a side that has been playing regularly.
Equatorial Guinea (W) have a much clearer recent record to analyze. Their last match in February 2026 ended in a 1-3 loss to Tanzania (W), which halted what had been a positive run. Before that, they beat Libya (W) 3-0 twice in September 2023, showing they can dominate when facing lower-ranked opposition. Their draw and defeat against DR Congo (W) in late 2023 showed vulnerability against more physical, organized sides. The form string of reflects a team that peaked and then cooled, but they remain far more prepared than Almeria for a competitive fixture.

Possible Starting Lineups
Detailed player-level data for Almeria (W) was not available from the last five matches. Their only traceable result was a 6-7 defeat to La Solana (W) in September 2023, which does not provide enough lineup consistency to project a reliable starting eleven. Jeff Strasser will likely set up in a standard 4-3-3 or 4-4-2 shape, but player selection remains unclear without recent squad data. Watch for any forwards who can press high, given the open nature of their last match.
Equatorial Guinea (W) also lack granular player data across their recent fixtures, though their results against Libya (W) and DR Congo (W) suggest a settled defensive structure and a direct attacking approach. Strasser, who also coaches Almeria, perhaps favors a 4-3-3 setup with compact midfield lines. The players who featured in those back-to-back 3-0 wins over Libya are worth monitoring, as they represent the team’s most convincing performances on record.

TipsGG Match Prediction
We predict an Equatorial Guinea (W) win in this International Friendly. The data, limited as it is, consistently points in one direction. They have played more recently, they have recorded wins against comparable opposition, and their form string, despite ending in back-to-back losses, still shows greater competitive fitness than an Almeria side that has not played in 2026 at all.
The shared coaching setup between both teams is a real wildcard, and perhaps Strasser will use this match to test different systems across both squads. That said, on paper and on form, Equatorial Guinea (W) are the stronger unit right now. We back them to win, with goals likely at both ends given Almeria’s defensive record in their last outing. The over 2.5 goals market and a Equatorial Guinea win make the most sense as primary selections here.
