Our prediction for this Africa Cup of Nations 2021 match:
After failing to find the net in previous four games in all competitions, Botswana will be looking to give fans something to cheer about when they face Zimbabwe at National Sports Stadium in the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier. The Zebras aim to regain a much-needed confidence, but they are seen as underdogs in Friday’s football game. Botswana have been struggling in front of goal in 2019, which is probably the main reason why away win should not be considered.
Zimbabwe, on the other hand, are on a three-game winning run at home ground, with the team scoring exactly three goals in each of their previous three home matches. A man to watch in the home team will be Kaizer Chiefs attacker Khama Billiat, who is likely to make life difficult for the opposition defenders. In their last meeting in a competitive match Zimbabwe defeated Botswana on penalties, and we are tempted to put our money on the hosts once again.
