Favourites Guinea are signified by the Sun (ruler of the 1st house) and Venus (lord of the 10th house; victory for the favourites).
Their rivals Gambia are represented by the lord of the opposing 7th and 4th houses; Saturn and Mars respectively.
The Moon is placed near to the cusp of the 10th house. This boosts the fortunes of favourites Guinea, although the Moon would need to be nearer to the house cusp (within 2 degrees) to be a convincing testimony of victory.
The Sun is applying to closely conjunct Pluto: This could prove a serious problem for Guinea. In his book “Sports Astrology”, John Frawley notes that Pluto seems to have some kind of grudge against the favourites. Pluto seemed to upset Egypt’s hopes of victory against Ghana in yesterday evening’s game, which resulted in a draw: It will be interesting to see if Guinea fare any better.
