Zimbabwe will challenge Benin on March 20, 2025, in a CAF World Cup qualifying match. Zimbabwe is at the bottom of Group C with only two points. In contrast, Benin is competing for the top spot, with recent victories over Nigeria and Rwanda. The expected outcome leans toward a double chance bet for Benin.
Zimbabwe has struggled in their CAF 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying campaign and currently sits at the bottom of Group C. They will face Benin, a team vying for the top position in the same group, on March 20, 2025. The kickoff is set for 4:00 PM UK time, 12:00 PM ET, and 9:00 AM PT, although the match will not be televised in either the UK or the US.
Despite having potential new talents, Zimbabwe has only secured two points from four matches so far. Under head coach Michael Nees, previously the manager for Israel U21 and Kosovo U21, they began their qualification with a goalless draw against Rwanda. This was followed by a commendable 1-1 draw against Nigeria, but they then suffered defeats against Lesotho and South Africa.
On the other hand, Benin recently failed to qualify for the 2025 CAF Africa Cup of Nations but has performed well in FIFA World Cup qualifying. They achieved a noteworthy victory against Nigeria in June and previously defeated Rwanda, benefiting from home-field advantage at Stade Felix Houphouet-Boigny. Benin’s strategy might center on key players like Steve Mounie and Jodel Dossou to secure points against Zimbabwe.
The recommended betting tip for the upcoming match is a double chance on Benin, suggesting they will either win or at least draw against Zimbabwe in this crucial encounter.
Zimbabwe faces a challenging match against Benin, both teams struggling with their qualification aspirations for the FIFA World Cup. Zimbabwe’s lack of points places them at a disadvantage, while Benin is eager to solidify their place in the competition. The outcome may hinge on individual performances from Benin’s key players as they strive to achieve a favorable result.
