The Double Chance market is an excellent option for those who want a little more security and a little less risk in their bets. Of the three potential outcomes in a football match (win, draw, loss), two of them ensure a winning bet.
And with the 1X bet, the home team has a higher probability of hitting on the bet thanks to the added advantage of playing in their own stadium.
So based on recent form and other factors, we feel confident enough in South Africa's ability to avoid defeat to make South Africa win or draw our top betting tip for this match.
Our prediction is: South Africa to win
In all honesty, there is no other result we can foresee for this match other than South Africa to win outright, which is our betting tip.
South Africa's strong form this season, particularly at home, is hard to overlook, as are Rwanda's shaky overall results and performances of late. And we expect the two sides to play true to form when they meet for their upcoming match.
