Gambia and Tanzania will face off in their final match of the 2014 World Cup Qualifiers.
Both teams are eliminated from contention and have little on the line in final match of the tournament for both nations. Tanzania sits in third place in the group with 6 points and can only aspire to finishing second if it wins and the Ivory Coast defeats Morocco in their game. Meanwhile Gambia is stuck in the basement of the group with one point in five games.
Gambia started its tournament with a 1-1 draw against Morocco. After earning that point, the nation's campaign went downhill. Tanzania pulled off a 2-1 win over the team before the Ivory Coast embarrassed Gambia 3-0 in two straight games. Morocco finished off the team with a 2-0 win in the latest match of the tournament.
Meanwhile, Tanzania lost 2-0 in its opener against Ivory Coast. The team then beat Gambia 2-1 before taking down Morocco 3-1. Unfortunately, the luck ran out as the team was defeated in its final two matches by Ivory Coast and Morocco.
Tanzania has scored eight goals in the campaign while Gambia has only managed to put two past the line.
Prediction: Neither team has anything on the line but pride and the potential to improve their respective FIFA rankings. Look for a wide open game that features a plethora of end to end action and hopefully a lot of goals. Gambia winds up winning 3-2.
Start Time: 12:30 p.m. EST
