Africa Cup of Nations Predictions - 27 March, Preliminary Finals


Chad vs Burundi


Chad are winless in their last 20 matches, losing 13 and being goalless in 11 of those matches. Their last two wins came right before that winless streak when they beat Mauritius home and away. 

Burundi are goalless in their last five matches, losing the last four in a row. They have six wins and 11 defeats in their last 20 matches but have failed to score in 12 of those matches. 

Burundi have scored 22 goals in just eight of their last 20 games, while Chad have scored 15 in nine matches. Both sides have goals in them against weaker opposition, so I fancy this to be 3-plus goals match, with Burundi to win.

Somalia vs Mauritius


Somalia endured a seven-match goalless streak (with six defeats) before pulling off back-to-back wins against Bahrain (2-1 and 1-0), only to lose 1-0 to Oman in extra time in their last match.

Mauritius are without a win in their last 10 matches, losing five and failing to score in eight of those games. This looks like a Somalia win to nil, with the final score not higher than 2-0. 

Sao Tome and Principe vs Ethiopia


The hosts went 18 matches without a win before sneaking a 1-0 win at home over Malawi in their last match. They had lost their last seven matches in a row and have failed to score in 11 of their last 20 matches. 

Ethiopia have won six and lost seven of their last 13 matches, failing to score in five matches. They have notched 20 goals in those 13 games, so they are worth backing for the win with a handful of goals.

Verdict

Burundi to beat out Chad on the road, Somalia to eke out a win over Mauritius, while Ethiopia to hit a couple of goals in their win over Sao Tome and Principe.
