Burundi stars

Botswana season
On the other hand, Botswana come into this game with a slightly more balanced record this season. In 3 games, the team has managed 1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss. With 4 goals scored and 4 conceded, Botswana show a balance between attack and defense.
In recent games, Botswana have shown a varied performance. A goalless draw against Rwanda highlighted their solid defense, while a 1-1 draw with Mozambique demonstrated their resilience to pick up points.
Burundi season
Burundi have played 4 matches this season, showing a performance that could be considered unstable. With only 1 win and 3 defeats, Burundi have scored 4 goals, but their defense has shown vulnerability by conceding 9 goals.
In Burundi's last few games, an analysis reveals a series of mixed results. Starting with a narrow 1-0 defeat against Madagascar, followed by a significant loss to Algeria, conceding 4 unanswered goals. Against Gabon, another 1-2 defeat showed difficulties in maintaining consistency.
Botswana draw the last match
Botswana, meanwhile, also failed to pull away in a goalless draw with Rwanda in a friendly on Thursday.
Burundi last matches
Burundi have lost four of their last five games, winning just one match in that sequence. However, that one win could be important for the Swallows, as it came in the opening game of the FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
Botswana’s Invencibility
