Tanzania vs Ethiopia Prediction: Both teams are expected to net in this encounter

Benjamin Mkapa National Stadium will host the African Cup of Nations Qualification encounter between Tanzania and Ethiopia. The two nations settled for a draw at the end of regular time the last time they met. How will this one end?

Tanzania

Tanzania have been brilliant in recent encounters and will enter this match, hoping to replicate that form. In their last five games, this team lost only one, coming against Sudan in a 2-1 encounter. However, other encounters saw Tanzania defeat Zambia, Sudan, and Mongolia while they settled for a goalless draw with Indonesia. Heading into this game, Tanzania have scored six times in their last matches while conceding twice in that run.

Ethiopia

Ethiopia will look to keep their unbeaten run intact with a win in this qualification encounter. In their last encounter, which came in a World Cup qualifier, Ethiopia played Djibouti and settled for a 1-1 draw. In that game, this team had to come from behind to take a point, thanks to Minyelu Wondimu’s 31st-minute strike that canceled Djibouti’s lead through Gabriel Dadzie’s strike. Heading into this game, Ethiopia lost two, won one, and drew two of their last five matches.

Expert Betting Tips

Looking at how the meetings between these sides have ended, I do not expect any side to have things easy. Tanzania at home have a high chance, but while we take a look at Ethiopia's recent matches into this one, there is no doubt they will be a tough side to beat. With Tanzania expected to be the better side and win, Ethiopia are not expected to be an easy side to deal with. Take the host with goals from both teams.
