Benin will take their home match against Zimbabwe to the Alassane Ouattara Stadium in Cote d’Ivoire. This will be a World Cup qualifying match in Group C, with Benin third and Zimbabwe bottom. Read on to find our prediction.
Benin have so far garnered eight points and can vie for at least the second spot, with the group leaders, South Africa, being five points ahead.
One area that Benin have fallen short in is defence; they’ve conceded seven times in the six matches played. In this group, they managed just two wins, and playing as hosts, they’ll be hoping to better that tally.
Zimbabwe rallied from two goals down to draw 2-2 with Benin in their first meeting in this group. Nyasha Munetsi opened the scoring for the Zimbabweans, and later Knowledge Musona scored the leveler.
Zimbabwe are left with just one win in the last 11 matches, having lost five times in the process. Attack may arise as an issue for the Zimbabweans as well. They have failed to score three times in the last five matches.
Being in dire need of a win here, Nees Michael will be forced to address this issue. The southern African nation is still seeking a first win in the qualifiers and has conceded nine times.

Our Benin vs Zimbabwe Prediction
These two sides played out a 2-2 draw in their first meeting, but there are all the indications that this will be low-scoring. That is actually Benin’s only match that produced over 2.5 goals across the last five. The hosts are actually coming here having failed to score in their last two matches.
Save for one of their last five matches, Zimbabwe’s goals have also dried up. They failed to score in three of the games and we don’t expect a high-scoring match. Our prediction for Benin v Zimbabwe is for under 2.5.
