Macau vs Tanzania prediction
Ranked 193rd in the world, and that perhaps being flattering, Macau succumbed to a 4-1 hammering at the hands of Aruba in the semi-finals of this mini tournament the other day.
Tanzania, on the other hand, suffered a humiliation. The Tanzanians were beaten 1-0 by European minnows Liechtenstein due to a 55th minute strike from Ferhat Seglam.
Tanzania are without a few key men, including captain Mbwana Samatta, but they should still have enough to put right what went wrong the other day and defeat Macau here.
