Prediction: 0-1
Namibia
Burundi will look to keep their 2024 AFCON qualification hopes alive when they take on Namibia in Dar es Salaam on Tuesday afternoon. Burundi failed to make life for Cameroon in their last group game and, as a result, this has to go down as a must-win game for the home side. Former WBA striker Saido Berahino will be the man to watch in the home team despite losing his place in the starting XI at AEL Limassol.
The Brave Warriors, on the other hand, will move one step closer to securing the 2024 AFCON qualification with a win over Burundi. Since Namibia boss Collin Benjamin says all his players are fit for Tuesday’s qualifier, away win should be considered. You should bear in mind that earlier in the process the two teams played out a 1-1 draw at FNB Stadium.
Highlighted Team (Namibia):
Back in 1989 Namibia faced neighbouring country Angola in their first ever international game. Namibia made their international debut under the name of South-West Africa, with the team losing to the Palancas Negras 1-0.
On March 21, 1990 Namibia declared independence from South Africa and only two days later they suffered a 5-1 loss to Zimbabwe in their first game as an independent country. The Brave Warriors have never qualified for the FIFA World Cup finals, but in 2019 they will take part at the Africa Cup of Nations for the third time in the national team’s history.
Namibia are well known for their blue home kit, whilst they wear white jerseys and white shorts when playing on the travels. The Brave Warriors registered their biggest win against Benin (8-2) on July 15, 2000, with the team suffering their heaviest loss to Egypt (2-8) one year later (July 13, 2001). Namibia are affiliated to the CAF – Confederation of African Football.
