Burundi vs Namibia Prediction: Bet on goals here

Burundi will host Namibia at the Benjamin Mkapa National Stadium on Tuesday, as their hopes of making the Africa Cup of Nations are on the line. The visiting team, on the other hand, enters this game needing just a share of the victory to guarantee their spot at the continental competition the following year.

Burundi - not in consistent form

The international friendly match between Burundi and Indonesia that took place at Patriot Candrabhaga Stadium on March 28 ended in a tie score of 2-2. After falling behind to Witan's first goal just before the hour mark, the team under Etienne Ndayiragije turned the game around with goals from Saido Berahino and Abedi Bigirimana, before Jordi Amat equalized the score in the final minute of stoppage time in the second half. Since their victory over Liberia by a score of 2-1 in March 2022, Les Hirondelles have only managed to pick up one victory in their most recent six matches across all competitions. Following this, there will be a competition against an adversarial group that should not be underestimated based on their three prior meetings, each of which ended in a victory for one side and a tie for the other. On Tuesday, the Burundi team will go into what is now a must-win game in front of their fans with a great deal of optimism.

Namibia - hoping for another miracle

At the Dobsonville Stadium in Johannesburg, South Africa, on March 28, Namibia defeated Cameroon's Indomitable Lions by a score of 2-1 to earn an amazing triumph. Peter Shalulile and Absalom Limbondi scored for the team managed by Collin Benjamin, putting them in the driver's seat, but Vincent Aboubakar responded with a goal in second-half stoppage time to bring the score even. The Brave Warriors are currently in first place in Group C going into the penultimate round of fixtures, having accumulated five points over their first three qualifying matches. The visitors are currently on a streak of just one loss in five away games leading up to Tuesday's affair; therefore, all they need to do to be in the running for the 2024 African Cup of Nations is avoid losing on the road once more.

Burundi possible starting lineup:

Rukundo, Nduwarugira, Harerimana, Nshimirimana, Ndayishimiye, Nahimana, Nshimirimana, Bigirimana, Shabani, Bimenyimana, Berahino

Namibia possible starting lineup:

Kazapua, Hanamub, Gebhardt, Hambira, Kamberipa, Wesley, Haoseb, Hotto, Shitembi, Rudath, Shalulile

Expert Betting Tips

We anticipate Burundi to bring their A-game here because they are well aware that failing to win this game by at least three points will put an end to their hopes of qualifying for the AFCON. However, the Namibia team did a really nice job against Cameroon, and with that performance, there is a sure assurance that this side will do well here. In the meantime, given the manner in which previous matches between these two teams have come to a conclusion and the importance of the game, we anticipate that both teams will score. Also, considering the fact that they will be competing on their own soil, I predict that the team that is hosting the match will pull out a close victory at the end of the game.
