Ethiopia vs Tanzania Prediction: Both teams have a lot to give

Stade des Martyrs will host the Africa Cup of Nations qualifier between Ethiopia and Tanzania. The last meeting between these teams ended in a goalless draw. How will this encounter unfold?

Ethiopia's African Nations Championship qualifier ended in a walkover win over Eritrea. However, their prior AFCON qualifying encounters saw this team lose to Guinea and D.R Congo. In fact, except for the walkover win, Ethiopia have not won a game since their March victory over Lesotho. The host nation sits in the bottom of Group H AFCON qualifier standings with one point. 

Tanzania's last league game was against Sudan in the African Nations Championship, and they won on penalties. However, prior encounters to that game saw this team lose to D.R Congo in consecutive games and to Sudan. However, Tanzania have four points in their first four AFCON qualifying games, scoring two goals and conceding four. 

This is a crucial game for the two teams, and they will look to give their best. While Ethiopia are yet to win in this qualifier, Tanzania need a win to boost their chance of making it to the main tournament. We should expect this encounter to be a very tight one, but on the road, I believe Tanzania will get a hard-fought victory.
