Burundi vs Equatorial Guinea prediction

Burundi come into this one on the back of a 5-0 demolition at the hands of African champions Morocco in their most recent outing, last week. That came on the back of back-to-back 4-0 hammerings of Chad during the March international break.

They now face an Equatorial Guinea side that most recently shared a 1-1 draw with Madagascar a couple of months ago, meaning that they have now won just two of their last nine matches.

These are two of the more proactive teams in African international football, which tends to be quite defensive and low-scoring, and so both teams scoring would appear a reasonable bet for this one in the Egyptian capital city.
