Betting suggestion:

For this match, a good betting tip would be to bet on under 2.5 goals. Zimbabwe has shown offensive struggles, scoring only 2 goals so far, while Benin has a modest attack with 4 goals scored. Additionally, both teams have displayed relatively more organised defences, with Zimbabwe conceding 6 goals and Benin only 3. This suggests that the game is likely to be tight and low-scoring, making the under 2.5 goals bet an interesting option.

According to our data, there is no recent record of direct clashes between the two teams.

Analysis Zimbabwe

After 2 draws and 2 losses, the home team is currently in the 6th position, with 2 points won. In the last match, they have lost (3‑1) in an away match against South Africa, after in the previous round they have lost (0‑2) at home against Lesotho. This is a team that is often stronger at home, with the help of its supporters, so they usually make good use of the home advantage, since in the last 30 matches they register 2 wins, 4 draws and 9 losses in away matches; against 3 wins, 8 draws and 4 losses at their stadium. In their last match, for the Africa Cup of Nations Qualification, they got an away loss against Cameroon by (2‑1). In the last 5 home matches Zimbabwe has won 1, tied 3 and lost 1.

In this competition, they haven’t won any of the last 4 matches. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 3 of the last 4 matches for this competition. In 13 matches, they have conceded the first goal 5 times and have only turned the score around in 1.

Zimbabwe enters this game against Benin with only 2 points from 4 matches, occupying 6th place in the group. The team has been facing difficulties in this qualification stage, with 2 draws and 2 losses, scoring 2 goals and conceding 6. Zimbabwe urgently needs to improve its performance to keep its qualification hopes alive, especially considering that the defence has been vulnerable and the attack ineffective. A victory in this home game is crucial to try and recover and aim for better results in the upcoming matches.

Confirmed Lineup: Washington Arubi, Munashe Garananga, Gerald Takwara, Divine Lunga, Jordan Zemura, Emmanuel Jalai, Andy Rinomhota, Knowledge Musona, Khama Billiat, Marshall Munetsi, Prince Dube.
Coach: N. Mapeza.

Analysis Benin

The away team is currently in the 3rd position, with 7 points won, after 2 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss. In the penultimate round, they have won a home match against Rwanda by (1‑0). In the last round, they have won a home match against Nigeria by (2‑1). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 2 wins, 6 draws and 7 losses in away matches, with 17 goals scored and 22 conceded; against 7 wins, 5 draws and 3 losses at their stadium, with 18 goals scored and 11 conceded. In their last match, for the Africa Cup of Nations Qualification, they got an away tie against Libya by (0‑0). In the last 10 away matches Benin has tied 4 and lost 6. Their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 3 of the last 4 matches for this competition. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 4 times and have only turned the score around in 1.

Benin, on the other hand, is tied with Rwanda and South Africa on 7 points but occupies 3rd place due to goal difference. The team has shown solid performance, with 2 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss, scoring 4 goals and conceding 3. Benin comes off an important win and knows that a good result against Zimbabwe could put them in an even more comfortable position in the table. The team has proven to be competitive, with a well-organised defence and the ability to score when needed. An away win would be crucial to solidify their qualification hopes.

Confirmed Lineup: Marcel Dandjinou, Yohan Roche, David Kiki, Mohamed Tijani, Sessi D'almeida, Junior Olaitan, Doku Dodo, Hassane Imourane, Andreas Hountondji, Steve Mounié.
Coach: M. Dussuyer.
