Rwanda vs South Sudan Prediction: Rwanda will get revenge this time

Amahoro Stadium will host the African Nations Championship encounter between Rwanda and South Sudan. South Sudan took the lead in the first game of this fixture. Can Rwanda get things right here? Below, I will preview this game and make predictions. 

Rwanda

Rwanda will hope to get things right in the second leg of this game after a poor first-leg performance. In that game, Rwanda went behind before the break, and despite Kevin Muhire and Didier Mugisha's strike in the second half, it was not enough to see them avoid a defeat. However, this team has lost four of their last eight matches, coming against Benin, Djibouti, and Libya. In their last home matches, Rwanda had three wins and one draw, and the lone defeat came against Libya in November. 

South Sudan

South Sudan pulled off a strong performance in the first leg of this game, and I expect another decent play from them here. In a game that ended 3-2, goals from Ebon Ezibon, Mandela Malish and an own goal from Aimable Nsabimana were enough to see this team take the lead going into the second leg. Ahead of this game, South Sudan have won three times in their last five matches, defeating Kenya and Congo. Away from home, South Sudan have not won any of their last seven matches, drawing three and losing four. 

Expert Betting Tips

I do expect another high offensive play from the two teams in this game. While Rwanda are at home this time, I expect them to step up their game. Yet, South Sudan look very confident, and I expect them to score in this game. Also, while Rwanda have been brilliant offensively, a bet on them winning is a good option.
