Analysis

1.5% Rotation #235609: Africa Cup of Nations Qualifying | Group Stage: Wednesday 1.5% OVER 1.5 -190 in Tanzania vs Ethiopia @ Noon ET - This match-up taking place at Benjamin Mkapa National Stadium (Dar es Salaam) in Tanzania. Having lived in Romania for the better part of 3 years now, I have realized places like Africa are not so far away and some Romanians travel here as part of the continent is very near to Spain which is also popular for Romanians. Though this match is deeper into the continent than places like Morroco or Tripoli on the NW and NE coast respectively, the point is that, though most of my focus in the Football ("Soccer") is in the European Leagues, I do pay attention in other areas in this part of the world as well and there is a nice set up for goals in this one. Looking at the last 5 matches for Tanzania, one of them was a scoreless draw but they scored an average of 1.5 goals in the other 4 matches in this stretch. They are the biggest favorite today among the 4 matches taking place in this competition and that is with good reason! I look for them to be relentless here at home in putting away the weaker side and that should lead to solid goal-scoring chances as Ethiopia will be looking to surprise on the counterattack. Like Tanzania, they have one recent scoreless draw but have scored at least 1 goal in each of their other 3 recent matches. The problem for Ethiopia is that, other than the one scoreless draw, they have allowed 7 goals in their other 4 recent matches. All 4 of those matches totaled at least 2 goals and, unlike my other play Wednesday which is plus money, I am laying the price here to have this over at 1.5 goals so we'll also go with a lower-rated play with a 1.5% play here and that way we can rest easy once this one gets to 2 goals. This is currently available at -190 price as of 5:10 AM ET. From what I am reading, Tanzania is going to approach this match with attacking in mind and that will force Ethiopia to be aggressive as well as I expect an early goal to dictate the flow of this one! 1.5% OVER 1.5 -190 in Tanzania
