The last meeting between Madagascar and Tanzania in Africa Cup of Nations qualifying ended in a 2-1 win for Tanzania, but the context is different this time, because both sides have just come through matches against teams from the same competition, and the recent form of the two teams does not point to who will take the game which way. Madagascar have just lost 1-2 in this competition, a second defeat in a row. Their attack can still create chances but their defence lets opponents get at them easily, while Tanzania also just lost 0-2 in the same competition, though before that they had a match where they scored 6-0 in the World FIFA Series, which is a different competition from their latest match. The pattern of play is likely to be a midfield exchange rather than one side sitting back and waiting. Tanzania will have slightly more of the ball based on the last 10 matches, but Madagascar at home should open up from the start. The first half could end level or with little between them, then the second half will open up more as both teams need goals.
