Burundi vs Botswana Prediction: A low scoring encounter expected

Burundi and Botswana are set to clash in an international friendly at the Mahamasina Municipal Stadium on Monday. The last encounter between these two teams occurred in 2014, with Botswana emerging victorious. Let's provide a preview of this upcoming match and explore potential betting opportunities.

Burundi

After suffering a 1-0 defeat in their previous International Friendly against Madagascar, Burundi is eager for a better outcome in their upcoming match against Botswana. Rayan Raveloson scored the lone goal for Madagascar in the 19th minute. In five out of their last six fixtures, Burundi has witnessed at least three goals per match. Throughout this period, opposing teams scored 14 goals, while Burundi managed to score 7. With four losses in their last five games and only one win in this sequence, Burundi's recent form might seem concerning. However, it's worth noting that their solitary victory came in the opening game of the FIFA World Cup qualifiers, which could hold significance for the Swallows moving forward.

Botswana

In their previous outing, Botswana played to a goalless draw in an International Friendly match against Rwanda. Over their last six matches, David Bright's Botswana team has found the back of the net a total of 6 times, resulting in an average of 1 goal scored per game. Botswana has now gone three games without a defeat for the first time since June 2022, and they will aim to extend this positive streak with another favorable result in their upcoming match. Notably, in seven of the Zebras' last 11 games, one side failed to score. Botswana has drawn their last two friendlies and remains undefeated in their last four friendly matches.

Expert Betting Tips

This match might unfold as a tightly contested affair, with scoring opportunities likely to be scarce. Considering the odds and the potential performances of both teams, it's challenging to confidently support either side. It's plausible that we'll see a match characterized by strong defensive play. As a result, I anticipate a goalless draw.
