Rwanda vs Benin Prediction
Rwanda are winless in three games in the AFCON qualifiers so far. The Wasps will be eliminated from the running for qualification to Morocco if they lose again.
Torsten Spittler's side have to go out for the win, which is something they have struggled with, having won one of their last five games. Furthermore, their games have been cagey, but they held the Super Eagles of Nigeria to a draw in their most recent home game.
Benin, meanwhile, are on a good run of form and are well-placed to qualify to the 2025 AFCON. Furthermore, Gernot Rohr's side have won consecutive games against Rwanda, with the first coming in the FIFA World Cup qualifiers in June.
Expect the two sides to force a share of the spoils in a goalless stalemate.
