Tanzania vs Madagascar Prediction and Betting Tips | 9th August 2025

Tanzania play Madagascar at the Benjamin Mkapa Stadium in Dar es Salaam on Saturday at the 2024 African Nations Championship, looking to make it three wins from three. Co-hosts of the tournament, along with Uganda and Kenya, Tanzania have a 100% record in Group B thus far.

The Taifa Stars began their campaign with a 2-0 win over Burkina Faso, courtesy of goals from Abdul Sopu and Mohamed Zimbwe Jr.

On matchday two, Hemed Morocco's side needed an 89th-minute winner from Shomari Kapombe to beat Mauritania. Now with six points in the bag, Tanzania are currently leading their group and have emerged as favorites to progress into the knockout stages - something which can be sealed with a third consecutive victory this weekend.

Madagascar couldn't find a breakthrough in their clash with Mauritania earlier this week, as the sides played out a 0-0 draw. La Barea were reduced to 10 men as early as the 39th minute when Andriamirado Aro Hasina was shown a straight red, and it certainly upset their rhythm.

The island side finished with only 37% possession and just one shot on target from eight attempts, signaling a visibly poor performance on the day.
