Benin aim to recover from a 1-0 loss to D.R. Congo and given Botswana’s shaky defence, we predict that they will do so with a 2-0 win. Les Guepards failed to grab something from their 2025 AFCON opener, but it has to be noted that they had 12 goal attempts. Despite failing to find the net in the previous three games in all competitions, Benin are still seen as favourites to win Saturday’s clash. Gernot Rohr has no fresh injury worries ahead of round 2.
The Zebras, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 3-0 loss to Senegal. Botswana do not seem to be competitive at this level and given their six-game winless run in all competitions, away win should not be considered. Their expected goal against of 1.35 is not giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of the Stade Prince Moulay Abdallah showdown. Both Kebatho and Mohutsiwa should be cautious after picking up yellow cards in the Group D opener.
Benin and Botswana meet for the first time at the Africa Cup of Nations. As les Guepards are more of a team than the Zebras, Home Win, Benin to Score First and Benin/Benin markets seem tempting.
This Africa Cup of Nations 2025 match will be played on Saturday 27 December 2025 at 12:30.
