Benin, known for their strong home form, boasts an impressive record at home, going unbeaten in their last 10 matches with 7 wins and 3 draws. They have kept 6 clean sheets during this period, averaging 1.8 goals per game, showcasing a solid defence and efficient attack. The fervent home atmosphere further fuels their performance. In contrast, Botswana struggles on the road, with only 2 wins, 3 draws, and 5 losses in their last 10 away games. They concede an average of 1.3 goals per away match, often making defensive errors under pressure, and have a poor record in their last 6 away games with only 1 win, 2 draws and 3 losses. Botswana typically employs a defensive counter-attacking strategy, utilising quick attacks to threaten the opponent's goal. Early season team cohesion and player form will be critical. Though their squad might lack experience, they demonstrate energy and determination. However, Botswana's energy and drive should not be underestimated, and they could pose challenges to the home team.
