Rwanda vs Zimbabwe Betting Tips: X2 (Double chance) 

With Nigeria as the clear favorite to top Group 3 and secure direct qualification to the second qualifying round for the 2026 World Cup, a fierce battle is expected for the second spot, leading to a potential playoff.

In the battle for the second position in their group, Rwanda and Zimbabwe gear up for the start of qualifications, hoping to achieve a dream launch to their campaign and secure crucial points.

In fact, the Wasps have been in disarray in recent times, as we need to go back two years, specifically to March 24, 2021, to find their last achieved success in official matches, having drawn six times and suffered nine defeats since then.

In a bid to lift his selection from the slump, Torsten Spittler must first address issues in the offensive department, as his chosen ones have found the scoresheet only twice in the last seven competitive matches.

To make matters worse, it seems that the home advantage hasn't brought joyous moments lately, as the Rwandan national team has not only suffered six consecutive home defeats but has done so without finding the net.

In contrast, Zimbabwe's successes in recent years can be counted on the fingers of one hand. However, unlike Rwanda, they enter the WC 2026 qualification campaign in slightly better spirits and will hope for a positive start.

Despite missing out on the AFCON playoffs, The Warriors concluded their group stage impressively, defeating Guinea narrowly 2-1 on the closing day and later sharing points in a 1-1 draw with Botswana in a friendly.

Back in 2005, the two national teams had the chance to clash in WC qualifiers, where Zimbabwe proved superior, claiming victories in both encounters (2-0/3-1). Players like Zemura, Munetsi, Nakamba, and Kadewere are poised to shine against Rwanda, whose squad lacks players of the same caliber, starting their WCQ '26 campaign on a positive note.
