Rwanda vs Benin Predictions

This is as close to a knockout game that isn’t a knockout game as you’re going to get. Rwanda simply have to win to keep their chances alive while Benin also needs a win, although they won’t be out of it regardless of the result. My best bet is for these two teams to end all square.

Rwanda vs Benin Predictions
Head to Head
Rwanda Form
Benin Form

Rwanda won their last match 1-0 against Zimbabwe
Rwanda have seen under 2.5 goals in their last 5 matches.
Benin have won their last 2 matches to nil.
Benin have seen under 2.5 goals in 7 of their last 9 matches.

Head to Head

When these two met in June 2024, Benin were 1-0 winners at home. That was also during this qualification group stage.

Rwanda Form

Rwanda are currently fourth on the Group C table with two games to play. They have won two, drawn three and lost three but are just three points off the top two.

World Cup qualification is on for Rwanda, especially if they manage to take all three points in this game. They will then join Benin on 14 points and depending on what Nigeria and South Africa do in their two games, they could go into the final game with a really good chance.

In September, Rwanda lost 1-0 in Nigeria before beating Zimbabwe 1-0 away from home a few days later. Their final game next week will be against South Africa, and should they win both, a top two finish is very possible.

Benin Form

Benin go into this penultimate Group C game top of the table on goal difference ahead of South Africa. They have won four, drawn two and lost two of their eight matches to date.

Victory will be top priority for Benin as that will take them very close to qualification. However, a draw will not be catastrophic, but we must remember, their final game next week is away to Nigeria.

In the September qualifiers, Benin won both of their matches, beating Zimbabwe 1-0 and Lesotho 4-0, both of those games were at home.

Verdict

Rwanda v Benin

I am backing this match to end in a draw with 1-1 my scoreline tip.
