Gambia vs Burundi: Match Prediction Preview, Lineups, H2h for September 10, 2025

On Tuesday, Nairobi will host an 8th round match of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers in the African zone, featuring Gambia against Burundi. It seems promising for goal betting in this game.

Match preview

Gambia recently impressed with a 3-1 victory over Kenya, extending their unbeaten streak to three matches. While they can’t finish in the top two, John McKinstry’s team continues to show determination and attacking flair. Their scoring consistency is notable, having found the net in their last four matches.

However, Gambia’s defense remains a concern, as they struggle to keep clean sheets and often make defensive errors. In Nairobi, they will depend on an attacking style and swift transitions, making them a threat to any opponent.

Burundi is arriving under pressure, having lost to Ivory Coast (0-1), which compromised their chances for second place. Nonetheless, they still have a slim chance for playoffs, and a win against Gambia could bolster their hopes.

Burundi previously defeated Gambia 3-2 when they met earlier. The team will aim to replicate that success, but with five losses in their last eight matches, their stability is in question. Their attack has also struggled, particularly when playing away.

Probable lineups

• Gambia: Jarrju; Ceesay, Gomez, Colley, Touray; Han, Adams, Sou, Jallow, Minteh; Barrow
• Burundi: Nahimana; Liongola, Niyokuri, Nsabiyumva, Weymans; Bizosa, Nduwarugira; Bigirimana, Eldino, Girumugisha; Kanakimana

Match facts and head-to-head

• In their first encounter, Burundi won 3-2 against Gambia.
• Gambia has not kept a clean sheet in their last four matches.
• Both teams have scored in Gambia’s last three games.

Prediction

Both teams tend to play attacking football, frequently exchanging chances. Gambia appears more effective upfront, but their defense is weak, presenting an opportunity for Burundi. Considering the current form of both teams, the likely outcome is that both will score.
