Madagascar vs Tunisia Prediction and Betting Tips | November 14th 2024

Madagascar will face Tunisia at the Loftus Versfeld Stadium in Pretoria, South Africa on Thursday in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers. The Barea of Madagascar currently sit at the bottom of Group A with no wins and two draws in the previous four qualifying games.

They lost 1-0 to the Gambia during the last international break, taking their points tally to two out of an obtainable 12. However, a win against group leaders Tunisia would see Madagascar remain in contention for qualification as all the qualification spots in Group A are still up for grabs.

Tunisia won their opening two qualifying games but failed to pick up a win during the last international break, losing 1-0 to Comoros followed by a 1-1 draw against the same opposition. The Eagles of Carthage will be desperate to get a result on Thursday as a win would guarantee their qualification for the AFCON finals next year.

Madagascar vs Tunisia Prediction

Anything short of a win will end Barea's chances of qualifying from the group. The Barea will, however, need to be at their best to get a much-needed win, considering they are without a win in their last five outings.

Tunisia will be hoping to seal qualification by getting a win on Thursday as a draw could see them have to wait until the final round to qualify. Despite their struggles in the previous international break, the Eagles of Carthage remain strong favorites ahead of the midweek clash and should come out on top here.

Prediction: Madagascar 0-1 Tunisia
