Burundi vs Botswana Prediction
Burundi have lost four of their last five games, winning just one game in this sequence. However, that sole win could be consequential for the Swallows, with the win having come in their opening game of the FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
Botswana have gone three games without defeat for the first time since June 2022 and they will be hoping to keep this run going with another positive result here. Seven of the Zebras' last 11 games have seen one side fail to find the back of the net.
Botswana have drawn each of their last two friendlies and are unbeaten in their last four friendlies. This game could be a cagey affair with goalscoring chances coming at a premium. We are backing the two sides to cancel each other out in a goalless stalemate.
Prediction: Burundi 0-0 Botswana
