Prediction: 1-1
Rwanda
Benin and Rwanda take on each other at Stade Félix Houphouët-Boigny in what is expected to be an exciting 2026 World Cup qualifier. Benin failed to win the previous eight games in all competitions and, no doubt, they are eager to put an end to the negative trend. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team, but both Hountondji and Olaitan are one yellow card away from suspension.
The Amavubi, on the other hand, did well to beat South Africa 2-0 in their second group game. As Rwanda are undefeated in the previous five games in all competitions, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. Innocent Nshuti is widely expected to lead the line for the visiting team. You should know that under 2.5 goals have been netted in four of the previous five meetings between the two sides in all competitions.
Highlighted Team (Benin):
Benin are the African football team that were known as Dahomey national football team until 1975. The Squirrels have never qualified for the FIFA World Cup finals, but they will compete for the fourth time at the Africa Cup of Nations at the tournament in Egypt 2019.
Oumar Tchomogo’s team were grouped with the likes of Ghana, Guinea-Bissau and Cameroon in the group stages of the competition. Benin’s home kit is predominantly yellow, whilst they wear green shirts, green shorts and red socks when playing on the travels. The African side recorded their biggest win on December 27, 1961, with the team beating Mauritania 7-0 under the name of Dahomey.
Two years earlier, though, they were crushed by Nigeria 10-1, which is considered their biggest ever loss on the international stage. Benin usually host their rivals at Stade de l’Amitie, the venue with the capacity of 20,000. The Squirrels played their first ever international game on November 8, 1959, with the team suffering a 1-0 loss to Nigeria.
