The following game is from Group H at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers between Tanzania and Ethiopia at the Benjamin Mkapa National Stadium.
Tanzania Preview
Tanzania had an impressive qualifying campaign for the last edition of the Africa Cup of Nations as they reached the main draw finishing behind Algeria but ahead of Uganda and Niger. However, in the main competition, they finished bottom of their group without any victories and have since played only six matches. In those six matches, they had three wins, one draw and two losses, conceding no goal in their last three outings.
Ethiopia Preview
Like their rival, Ethiopia finished bottom of their group in the qualifying campaign of the AFCON 2023 competition. They also did not record any wins in their CAF World Cup qualifying group, boasting three draws and a loss in their four games. However, they are unbeaten in their last three games, with one win and two draws.
My Best Bet
I’ll settle for Under 2.5 goals in this fixture. Based on their recent matches, Tanzania have been impressive defensively and may aim to achieve a clean sheet on their home turf, making the chances of this pick high. The first team to score a goal could easily be the winner here. Also, the last two matches between these two ended in 1-1 draws. Furthermore, in Tanzania’s recent six games, four ended with under 2.5 goals, while four of Ethiopia’s seven matches ended under this game total.
