Ethiopia struggled against Egypt last week and will hope for a better result here. In a 0-2 contest, first-half strikes from Mohamed Salah and Zizo were enough to hand their opponent maximum points. In the meantime, Ethiopia have struggled so much in recent matches, with their lone win coming against D.R. Congo in the AFCON qualifier. In other matches, Ethiopia lost to Sudan in consecutive matches and Tanzania. Ahead of this game, Ethiopia sit 5th in the World Cup qualifier with three points, scoring one goal and conceding six.
Djibouti
Djibouti played Burkina Faso in their last qualifying encounter and lost. In a 4-1 contest, Djibouti conceded twice in each half, as an 88th-minute Samuel Akinbinu strike could not salvage a point for them. In the meantime, Djibouti have faced defeat in three of their last five matches, two against Sierra Leone and Rwanda. However, Djibouti picked up a win over Rwanda in one of their recent matches, ending 1-0 at home. Ahead of this game, Djibouti have only one point in this qualifier, coming against this Ethiopia side as they sit at the bottom of the standings.

Expert Betting Tips
Djibouti are just finding it difficult to dictate games, and on the road, this looks like a game they will struggle with. However, Ethiopia as a team has not been outstanding, especially with how poor they have been offensively. This will be a game where luck will be a decisive factor. Yet, I believe Ethiopia has a better chance of winning in a game that should end with a close scoreline.
Our first option is a win and over 1.5 goals for Ethiopia with odds at 1.73 1Xbet
Our second option is both teams to score with odds at 2.75 on Bet365
Our last option is over 2.5 goals with odds at 2.20 on Betway
