Rwanda v Benin Tips

Rwanda’s defensive organisation and counter??'attacking style make them tough at home. Benin are favourites, but Rwanda’s resilience gives them a live chance. At 2.75, they’re a sharp underdog angle.

Rwanda's home advantage isn't a home advantage that gives them value, it pushes them to achieve better results. Benin is top of the group and can directly access a World Cup for the first time. It's all in their hands, but they absolutely must win here to have a chance because they will have two away matches, one of which is at Nigeria's home ground, so if they don't win here, everything will be tougher. The path they've taken so far is important, but now they need to build on it.

Two out of the last five competitive meetings between these teams ended in draws. Three of Benin's last five matches in competitive football ended in draws.

Rwanda’s last six qualifiers all finished under 2.5, and Benin also trend low??'scoring. With both sides prioritising defence, Under 2.5 is the sharpest angle.

Rwanda’s games are tight, Benin have attacking edge but concede. A 1??'1 or 2??'2 feels live, making Draw BTTS a strong value angle in a balanced qualifier.
