Ethiopia vs Tanzania prediction
Ethiopia is the underdog in the group collecting just a point out of 4 games. They come from 6 straight winless matches with a limited number on the scoreboard. Playing against Tanzania in this coming match seems to be their chance to console their supporters from a long wait for a win. They did well in their play against Tanzania in Dar es Salaam as they took them with high confidence which resulted in getting their first point of this tournament. Their manager will be aiming to maintain the discipline that was depicted by his squad at Benjamin Mkapa Nation Stadium.
Tanzania and Guinea are now scrambling for the second spot after DRC managed to qualify earlier in their group. Taifa Stars seem to be confident with their away games as they managed to sustain a very tough contest against their rivals with their recent narrow loss to their neighbor being their only setbacks in the recent 4 games. Ethiopia might be their soft opponent for the remaining 2 games hence Tanzania is much expected to claim the three points out of this trip so that they can survive Guinea at home later during their last round. Despite Ethiopia being seen as the weaker side here, we can expect a very tough game from both sides, especially during the first half of the match. Both Taifa stars and Ethiopia have been struggling to see the back of the nets lately hence the number of goals counted on the scoreboard will also be low in this game.
