Niger vs Tanzania Prediction (18.11.2023)

On Saturday afternoon, Niger and Tanzania go head-to-head at the Stade de Marrakech as both teams look to make a winning start to their World Cup Group E qualifying campaign.

The home team’s recent international form has been poor, as they have won just one of their last eight games and suffered six defeats in the run.

Niger’s recent international outings have been low-scoring affairs, with under 2.5 goals scored in three of their last four games.

They recorded a 7-2 home win in their last World Cup qualifier, which ended a three-game winless run for Niger qualifiers. The victory also ended a poor recent home run in qualifying, as they had suffered three straight losses.

Poor recent defensive displays have not helped their poor home record in qualifying, as they have conceded at least two goals in their last four home qualifiers.

The visitors are unbeaten in their last three outings, although they have won just one of their previous four games. Tanzania’s recent matches have been low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in their last five outings.

Their recent record in World Cup qualifying has been poor, as they have won just one of their previous four qualifiers. Tanzania’s recent qualifiers have been low-scoring affairs, with under 2.5 goals scored in six of the last eight matches.

Tanzania has a poor recent away record in qualifying, as although they are unbeaten in four qualifiers on their travels, they have also won just once in nine outings. Those away games have been low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in six of their last seven away qualifiers.

This game is hard to judge, although I do believe this will be a relatively low-scoring encounter. The bet I am backing is over 2.5 goals.
