Benin vs Rwanda Prediction: The Cheetahs are expected to overwhelm their opponent

The Cheetahs will lock horns against Rwanda at the Felix Houphouet Stadium on Thursday. Benin Republic head here without a victory over their last sixteen matches as they hope to qualify for the World Cup. At the same time, the guests will be determined to maintain their unbeaten run in this tournament. 

Benin Republic

FIFA Ranking: 97th

Last five games: LLDDL

The Cheetahs' last victory was against Liberia in 2022, but they have been playing some great football recently. Their last FIFA Qualifying round ended in a stalemate and a defeat. They bowed to a (2-1) loss away from home to South Africa and settled for a toothless stalemate against Lesotho.

Benin Republic have gone eighteen games without a breakthrough, and a defeat here might cost Gernot Rohr his job. 

Rwanda

FIFA Ranking: 131st

Last five games: DDWDW

The Wasps will strive to make it to the World Cup Tournament for the first time in their history. They’ve had a superb start to this round, with a point on their ground against Zimbabwe and a (2-0) victory over a strong South African team. Rwanda took advantage of a terrible pitch against their opponent, scoring twice before the break to secure the maximum points on a waterlogged synthetic pitch. 

Rwanda occupy the top spot on the log, a point above South Africa at the top.

Expert Betting Tips

Over their last four meetings, Benin have won once and drawn four, scoring five while conceding three. Benin have named a strong side for this clash, which includes Akinyoola Samson of Zamalek, Tosin Aiyegun, and Olaitan Junior, to mention a few. They have not secured any win since 2022 and must be at their best to see off an unbeaten Rwanda team. 

The guests are undefeated over their last five matches, keeping four consecutive clean sheets. We think both teams stand an equal chance of finding the back out of the net; bet on BTTS for 2.29.

We believe the hosts have enough arsenal to get their first competitive win since 2022.

This game will produce more than two goals for 2.76.

Good luck!
