Madagascar vs Tanzania Prediction 29 September 2026
🔊 Madagascar and Tanzania come into this match after poor starts to their group campaign - both sides are yet to pick up a point in the Africa Cup of Nations qualifying. The table still gives the hosts reason to push for top spot, while the visitors are looking to close the gap to the play-off places. Over a longer run, though, neither side has shown any consistency in winning matches. Low scoring and problems in attack are a feature of both teams, which points towards a cautious encounter.
A level head-to-head record
📊 Madagascar and Tanzania have met five times. Both sides have won two of those meetings, with one match ending in a draw. The hosts have the edge in goals scored - 7 against 6 for the visitors. On average, the two sides have produced 2.6 goals per match.
Head-to-head statistics Madagascar - Tanzania
Madagascar: Inconsistent Results
Madagascar come into this match on the back of a defeat, but their overall record across the last 10 games shows they have something to offer - seven wins and three losses. Over the last five matches, they put together three consecutive wins before losing their last two, which points to a degree of inconsistency. Their average goals scored over that period is 1.7, though they have been conceding an average of 1.3 per game. Despite a poor start in the group and no points on the board, Madagascar retain a competitive incentive through the prospect of challenging for first place as the qualifying cycle progresses.

Tanzania: wins are few and far between
Tanzania got off to a losing start in the group stage and are playing catch-up. Their last five matches have produced just one draw and four consecutive defeats. Those results point to difficulties both in attack and at the back. Over their last ten matches, Tanzania have won just once, and their average of goals scored stands at 1 per game. Their goals conceded average is also relatively low, at around 1.1 per match.
Match Results: Tanzania
Total Goals Prediction
Fewer than three goals were scored in 16 of Tanzania's last 17 matches, pointing to a pronounced low-scoring trend in their games. Their last 10 matches back this up: the average number of goals conceded and scored stands at 1 and 1.1 respectively. Madagascar, in their last 10 home matches, have also averaged 2 goals scored and 0.8 conceded. On that basis, Total Goals - Under 2.5 at odds of 1.51* looks the most well-founded bet.
Corners Prediction
In 7 of their last 8 away matches, Tanzania's total corners have fallen short of nine. This is a consistent trend for the visitors, which suggests a low corner count in this match too. Our prediction: Total Corners - Under 8.5 at 1.81*.
Correct Score Prediction
According to the algorithm, the most likely correct scores are 1-0 (14.01%), 0-1 (13.9%) and 0-0 (13.89%). These outcomes point to a closely contested match with few goals and no clear favourite.

⭐ Editor's Prediction
The match looks set to revolve around cautious football, with both sides focused on midfield organisation and limiting risks at the back. Both teams have struggled for consistency in picking up points and rarely produce high-scoring games against sides of similar quality.While Madagascar tend to take their chances more often at home, their defensive solidity makes a goal-fest unlikely. Tanzania have been producing low-scoring matches for a prolonged period, regardless of the competition or the opponent. Predicted score: 1-0. Main prediction: Total Goals - Under 2.5.
