CHAN 2024: Tanzania vs Madagascar – How to Watch & Score Prediction
Tanzania will look to seal their place in the quarter-finals of the 2024 African Nations Championship (CHAN) when they face Madagascar in Group B on Thursday in Dar es Salaam. Kick-off is at 6:00 PM Morocco time (GMT+1), and fans can catch the action live on beIN Connect FRANCE, beIN Connect MENA HD, beIN Connect USA, beIN Sports Australia 2 HD, beIN Sports France 6 HD max, beIN Sports MENA 6 HD, SuperSport MáXimo 1 HD, SuperSport MáXimo 360, and SuperSport Variety 4 HD. The Taifa Stars top the group with six points from two matches after a 1-0 win over Mauritania on Wednesday, secured by Shomari Kapombe's 89th-minute goal. They had opened their campaign with a 2-0 victory against Burkina Faso. Madagascar sit third with one point, behind Burkina Faso on goal difference, and must win to keep their qualification hopes alive. Their task is complicated by the suspension of captain Arohasina Andriamirado, known as Dax, who was sent off in the 40th minute of their draw with Mauritania. Head coach Rôrô's Tanzania side enter the match with confidence, backed by home support and a strong recent record. They also hold a higher FIFA ranking and have shown defensive resilience, conceding no goals in the tournament so far. Madagascar, led by Toky, will aim to draw inspiration from their 1-0 win over Tanzania at the COSAFA Cup in June 2024. However, they have yet to record a victory in this CHAN campaign and face an opponent in strong form. Only the top two sides in each group progress to the knockout stage, making Thursday's match decisive. A win for Tanzania would confirm their progression, while defeat would leave Madagascar's qualification dependent on other results. Score Prediction: Tanzania have maximum points from two matches, with a solid defence and the momentum of back-to-back wins. Playing at home adds to their advantage. Madagascar, missing suspended captain Dax, will find it difficult to break through, and their lack of a win so far suggests Tanzania should control the match and take another three points. Let's say Tanzania 2-0 Madagascar. Tags: CHAN 2024MadagascarTanzania
