Tanzania and Rwanda take to the field for the first time since March as they battle it out in an international friendly on Tuesday evening.
Tanzania’s last match was a FIFA series placement match against Macau, and the East African nation ran riot in a 6-0 demolition. There were six different scorers in the emphatic victory.
Rwanda were also impressive in their last outing, beating Estonia 2-0 in March. Abeddy Biramahire and Leroy Mickels scored the all-important goals that helped Rwanda rise to 128th in the FIFA rankings.
Betting fundamentals – how sports betting really works
Tanzania are ranked 113th in the latest global rankings but have only managed one win in their last 13 matches. With neither of the nation’s qualifying for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, bragging rights is more of what is on the line here.
Rwanda are looking to make it three straight wins for the first time in over three years. Can they make it a third consecutive win here or will Tanzania bounce back?
We have a look at both sides ahead of the international friendly and offer our predicted outcome.

Tanzania vs Rwanda prediction
This fixture rarely has a lot to separate the sides, with 60% of the matches resulting in a stalemate. It is not known to produce lots of goals either, with only two of the last 10 resulting in over 2.5 goals.
With the game being played in a neutral location, we can expect both sides to be evenly matched going forward and if not for a moment of brilliance, we could be set for another draw here.
Prediction – Under 2.5 goals
