Rwanda vs Benin Prediction & Betting Tips

Rwanda vs Benin Preview

Rwanda enter this game on the back of a 1-0 victory over Rwanda as they ended their five-game winless streak. Their performance in that game was not particularly impressive but Gilbert Migisha’s 40th minute strike was enough to land them all three points.

Rwanda will target successive wins for the first time in this qualifying series as they fancy their chances of finishing second in this group. Rwanda’s away record in this qualifiers inciude one win, one defeat, and two draws. They are fourth on the table with eleven points from eight matches.

Benin Republic recorded back-to-back wins for the second time in the last international window when they defeated Lesotho 4-0. Their performance in that game was decent and is worth building on as they continue to chase the only playoff spot in the group.

The visitors are yet to record a victory away from home in this series, drawing two and losing one of their three matches. A win in this game will not only improve their chances of finishing in the playoff spot, but will also give them their first away win since March 2022, when they defeated Liberia 4-0.

Rwanda vs Benin Prediction

We back Benin Republic to emerge victorious here because they have been the top side in this fixture. Both nations have met seven time, Benin Republic won three, drew three, and lost one. Their performance in the qualifiers is also better than that of the hosts, hence they should come on top.

We do not expect a high-scoring result here because the seven meetings between the two nations averaged 1.8 goals per game. This pick is also backed by Rwanda’s last six games that averaged 1.67 goals per match and Benin’s last six matches that averaged 2 goals per game.

Lastly, we do not expect both teams to score because both teams failed to score in each of both nations’ last four matches respectively.
