The Swallows have failed to impress in the AFCON Qualifiers, but Burundi will hope for an improved performance in this tournament. Burundi, whose last game ended in a (3-0) defeat against Cameroon in the qualifying round, will try to adjust here. The Swallows have won once, drawn once and won three over their previous five games.

Gambia will feature in next season's AFCON following their decent run in the qualifying rounds. They finished in second spot, picking up ten points from a possible eighteen. Gambia have turned over a new leaf since their decent run in AFCON 2019. Since then, they have lost just two games.
Tom Saintfiet's men are unbeaten in their last three games and will be hopeful of maintaining the great run here.
Expert Betting Tips
Burundi have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last fourteen games and head here with a disappointing performance against Cameroon. On the other hand, Gambia are yet to taste defeat in three games. This encounter will be played in Tanzania, and based on both teams' recent performance, Gambia stand a better chance here, and we anticipate a win for them. Burundi's last six games ended in more than two goals, and we think this game won’t deprive us of goals; bet on a total of over 2.5 goals for 2.89.
This game will surely end in a halftime draw for 1.84.
We expect both teams to score here for 2.65.
Good luck!
