Rwanda vs Zimbabwe Predictions


Rwanda has a poor run of results in their AFCON qualifiers this year and struggles to win at home. Zimbabwe have an equally poor away record. A BTTS draw is predicted between the two nations.

Head to Head


Zimbabwe and Rwanda have recorded two victories each in four meetings across all competitions.  

Rwanda Form 


Rwanda have had a fruitless run of results in 2023, drawing 1-1 against Benin away from home and 1-1 in the return fixture at home in two AFCON qualifiers; however, CAF awarded Benin a 3-0 victory over Rwanda as they had fielded an ineligible player.

Rwanda continued to underperform, losing 2-0 at home against Mozambique before drawing 1-1 away against Senegal.

The Wasps have secured two draws and three losses in their last five games. They have netted two goals and conceded eight.

Amavubi have been poor at home, losing four of their last five fixtures, including one draw. They have scored no goals and conceded seven.

Rwanda have been in wretched form at their stadium, having failed to record a win in nine outings, which includes seven losses. Additionally, they have not scored in eight of those fixtures. Can they reverse their poor form and win?

Rwanda Team News & Injuries


Coach Torsten Spittler has named a 29-man provisional squad for their World Cup qualifying matches against Zimbabwe and South Africa.

Goalkeepers: Fiacre Ntwari, Jimmy Nzeyurwanda, Gad Muhawenaya
Defenders: Fitina Omborenga, Ali Serumogo, Christian Ishimwe, Ange Mutsinzi, Abdul Rwatubyaye, Thierry Manzi, Emmanuel Imanishimwe, Jean Claude Niyomugabo, Clement Nyigena

Zimbabwe Form


Zimbabwe made their return to FIFA football at the end of September after receiving a ban last year, which saw them miss out on their Africa Cup of Nations qualifying campaign when they played a 1-1 draw against Botswana away from home in a friendly international but lost 4-3 in the penalty shootout. 

The Warriors have recorded one victory in their last five fixtures, including three losses and one draw. They have scored four goals and conceded five.

Zimbabwe have failed to win in their last five away games, scoring three goals and conceding eight.

Zimbabwe are winless in their last ten away matches, including eight consecutive defeats and have a tricky opening World Cup qualifying game in Rwanda; however, their hosts have been in a slump on their home patch. 

Zimbabwe Team News & Injuries


Brazilian Coach Baltemar Brito has announced his final 23-man squad to face Rwanda and Nigeria in their upcoming World Cup qualifiers. 

Goalkeepers: Donovan Bernard, Washington Arubi, Martin Mapisa
Defenders: Andrew Mbeba, Peter Muduhwa, Frank Makarati, Teenage Hadebe, Munashe Garan’anga, Jordan Zemura, Tivonge Rushesha, Divine Lunga
Midfielders: Brian Banda, Marshall Munetsi, Andy Rinomhota, Marvelous Nakamba, Gerald Takwara, Tanaka Shandirwa, 
Forwards: Obriel Chirinda, Prince Dube, Tinotenda Kadewere, Admiral Muskwe, Walter Musona, Terrence Dzvukamanja 

Verdict

Both nations look unlikely to start their World Cup qualifying campaign with a victory, as Rwanda have struggled to win this year, and Zimbabwe have a dismal away record. A BTTS draw is tipped as the outcome with a 1-1 score at full-time.
