However, I agree with the Namibia +2 in essence because Namibia now will have to try not to lose at all, as they were the ones reporting the bribery attempt and this works as an extra motive, plus they're at ease with nothing to lose.
On the other hand Guinea will be missing their skippera and main striker, and I can't see them doing much better w/o him.
Morocco v Ghana also has the inclination for a big score as Morocco must go all-out attack and Ghana may find some gaps in the Moroccan backline. However, Ghana's defence ain't that good either so games on both sides is more likely than not.

If reports of a fix are a fact, then the game will be closely monitored by all authorities ever so closely. At this level and the game being a decider i.e. in the spotlight and everybody aware how serious FIFA, UEFA and the Olympic Co are taking the game - fixing recently, I don't think the hosts will risk getting involved in such thing.
