Benin vs Rwanda 22.03.2023

Benin will be looking for hoping for better tidings when the third round of qualification matches for AFCON resumes this week. The West Africans are bottom of group L after losing their opening group games to Senegal and Mozambique. They were tipped to beat Mozambique at home last time out but despite dominating possession, they were left licking their wounds as the island nation walked away with a 1-0 win. This game offers them a chance of redemption in front of their home crowd.

Rwanda looked on course to secure a second consecutive group draw but an injury-time penalty from Sadio Mane ensured Senegal took all three points on offer in the last group game. That loss left the East Africans third in the group. With Mozambique travelling to Senegal, a win here for Rwanda could see them move level on points with them should they come out of Dakar empty-handed.

We fancy a close game here. Goals have been hard to come by for both teams in their recent matches. We expect the same to continue here and we are picking BTTS No as our main tip.
