Botswana vs Niger prediction
Coached by Morena Ramoreboli, Botswana, who are ranked 146th in the world, head into this one on the back of back-to-back to nil defeats against Zimbabwe and Malawi in March. Despite some improvement recently, they have now endured six successive defeats, eliminated in the group stages at the CAF Africa Cup of Nations this winter.
They now face a Niger side that shared a 1-1 draw with Benin last week in Casablanca. They have managed to prolong their improvement a bit longer than Botswana, with two defeats in their last eight matches.
African international football is consistently low-scoring and another low-scoring encounter is to be expected for this one with Niger perhaps the team to be sided with for decent value.
Botswana vs Niger tip: Double chance – Niger to win or draw & under 3.5 goals
