Zimbabwe vs Rwanda: Prediction for the Match on September 09, 2025

Zimbabwe vs Rwanda: Prediction and odds on the Match on 09 September 2025

The Warriors will face off against Rwanda tomorrow at the Orlando Stadium in South Africa. In an attempt to open up the group, Zimbabwe must avoid a defeat on their home ground against a Rwanda side that will approach this game with the aim of securing maximum points. 

Zimbabwe: form and statistics

FIFA Ranking: 116th

Last five games: LLDDL

The Warriors have been below par in the FIFA World Cup qualifying group games, heading here without a breakthrough in seven games. After back-to-back stalemates against Nigeria and Benin, Zimbabwe surrendered to a slim (1-0) loss against Benin away from home. In a game of few chances, Benin Republic converted just one of their two shots on target to amass all the points. 

Zimbabwe have picked up two points from a combined twenty-one as they sit at the bottom of the log. The Warriors sits comfortably at the bottom of the log, scoring five and conceding ten times. 

Unfortunately, the Warriors won’t be able to make the top two on the standings considering their level of consistency in the FIFA World Cup qualifiers. 

Zimbabwe Team News

The Warriors haven’t really lived up to expectations in this competition, and I sincerely think they have a team capable of beating any team in the group. I expect them to be stronger here and feature some players from the bench. 

Zimbabwe Potential Lineup (4-3-3)

Arubi—Lunga, Hadebe, Garannanga, Jalai—Zemura, Musona, Nakamba—Kadewere, Chirewa, Masvanhise

Head coach: Micheal Nees

The Wasps suffered another loss in the group as they were narrowly beaten by the Super Eagles in Nigeria. Rwanda didn’t really threaten up front, but they were pretty solid at the back and deserved at least a point. Ntwari kept Rwanda in the game as the Kaizer Chiefs man denied Nigeria several goal chances. 

Since the tournament began, Torsten Spittler’s men have won twice, drawn twice, and lost three, putting them in fourth place on the log. 

Torsten Spittler's men had a setback in their attempt to finish in the top two spot on the log, and anything aside from he maximum points means they’ll be heading to the forthcoming FIFA World Cup. 

Rwanda Lineup

After playing more defensively against Nigeria, we expect an open game here where Rwanda will express themselves freely in front of goal. And if anything is going to happen for Rwanda upfront, they’ll have to get Nshuti firing. 

Rwanda Potential Lineup (4-4-2)

Ntwari–Ombolenga, Mutsinzi, Manzi, NIYOMUGBO–Mugisha, Sahabo, Bonheur Mugisha, Kwizera–Muhire, Nshuti

Head Coach: Adel Amrouche

Zimbabwe vs Rwanda: head to head statistics

Their only meeting happened in 2023, where both teams settled for a toothless share of the spoils. Rwanda, who played on their ground, couldn’t break down Zimbabwe.

Zimbabwe vs Rwanda: head to head statistics

Zimbabwe have been extremely poor in this tournament, heading here with four stalemates in their last seven matches. Unfortunately, they won’t be able to finish in the top two places in the group. Meanwhile, Rwanda were beaten narrowly against Nigeria a few days ago, even though they defended well.

Both teams lack the quality up front, with nine goals between them across their previous seven FIFA World Cup qualifying games. I think no winner will emerge here on Tuesday, as it will be hard for either team to actually find the back of the net. 

My match prediction is a full-time stalemate with a coefficient of 3.01 on the Betway bookmaker. 

My betting tip is for a BTTS No with a coefficient of 1.70 on the Bet365 bookmaker.

My final tip for this game is under 1.5 goals for a coefficient of 2.50 on the 1xbet bookmaker.

Good luck!
