Command Analysis
Ethiopia
EthiopiaCurrent form
The Ethiopian national team has been looking rather weak lately. The team has been unable to achieve success in the World Cup qualifiers, where it is in penultimate place, but the situation is even worse in the African Cup of Nations qualifiers, where the team is in last place and has almost lost its chances of getting into the tournament. In the first round of the qualifiers, they managed to draw with Tanzania (0:0), but after that, the hosts did not score any points. The Ethiopians lost to DR Congo (0:2), and were then twice defeated by Guinea (1:4, 0:3).

The hosts have no problems with their squad ahead of the match against Tanzania.

The Tanzanian team is performing slightly better in this qualifying round than today opponent. After a goalless draw in the first round, the nominal guests managed to beat Guinea away (2:1), thanks to which they currently occupy third place with four points to their credit. They failed to impose competition on DR Congo - Tanzania lost both matches to the group leader (0:1, 0:2). The return matches with Ethiopia and Guinea will be decisive for the Tanzanians.

1.55Bet Number 1 in the final score

1.60Tip and bets
Tanzania has never beaten Ethiopia in a head-to-head match, but now is the time to break that trend. The visiting team looks much better than their opponents in the current qualifying round, and the Tanzanians have a stronger squad. The motivation of the visitors will be off the charts, so we believe that the Tanzanian team will leave Kinshasa with a victory.
Our prediction is Tanzania win at 2.18
Bet on total
Both teams are rather weak in attack. The hosts have only scored one goal in this qualifying round, while the visitors have scored two. You shouldn't expect a goal-scoring extravaganza from these rivals in their face-to-face encounter, since the rivals played a goalless draw in the first round. We suggest betting on the total under.
Our prediction is total under two goals at 1.75
Bet on corners
We believe that the teams in this match will rely on defense, so we are unlikely to see a large number of corners here. It is worth betting on the total under this indicator.
Our prediction is total under 8.5 corners for 1.57
