Niger vs Tanzania Predictions

Tanzania have better form coming into this encounter but when these two met earlier this year it was a very even contest. Tanzania won that match by a single goal at home, but with Niger at home this time, I can see it ending level.

Tanzania have seen under 2.5 goals in their last 5 matches.

Head to Head

These two sides met in June this year with Tanzania winning 1-0 at home.

Niger Form

Niger will need a fast turnaround in form if they are to pose any threat in their World Cup qualification group. They have won just once in their last eight games along with one draw and six defeats.

Their AFCON qualification went poorly as Niger lost their final four group matches against Algeria home and away, as well as in Tanzania and at home to Uganda.

Since then, Niger have played two friendlies. They beat Somalia 3-0 at home before drawing 1-1 against Libya.

Niger Injuries

Niger have no fresh injury concerns after their game earlier this week was called off.

Tanzania Form

Tanzania have lost just once in their last five games along with two wins and two draws. While their hopes of making the World Cup are slim, Tanzania will know an away win here will go a long way to upsetting the odds.

After beating Uganda 1-0 away during AFCON qualification, Tanzania lost to the same opposition at home. They then beat Niger 1-0 at home before drawing 0-0 in Algeria to conclude the qualification process.

In Tanzania’s only match since, they drew 1-1 in Sudan.

Tanzania Injuries & Team News

Tanzania have a full-strength squad available for this match.

Verdict

Niger v Tanzania

I am backing this to end in a 1-1 draw.
