Madagascar vs Central Africa Prediction: A sure win for Madagascar at home

On Thursday, the qualifiers for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations will take place at the Mahamasina Municipal Stadium, with Madagascar playing host to Central African Republic.

The February 2022 African Nations Championship was the most recent competition for the hosts, who finished in third place overall. In their most recent match, they defeated Niger Republic by a score of 1-0, and Jean Razafindrakoto scored the game-winning goal in the 89th minute. Unfortunately, things have not been going well for the Barea in the AFCON qualification, as they now sit in Group E's table with just one point to show for their first two matches played. They have now let four goals in while they have only managed to score one for themselves.

Central Africa has not competed in a match since they were defeated by Congo in a qualifying match for the African Nations Championship by a score of 1-0. Following this match, Les Fauves will shift their focus back to the qualifiers for the Africa Cup of Nations. In spite of the fact that they have only one point after their first two matches in this qualification, which will be played against the Black Stars of Ghana in the middle of 2022, the away team, Les Fauves, will be hoping to win this match. They are currently in third place in Group E of the qualifiers for the African Cup of Nations.

Madagascar and the Central African Republic are currently tied for last place in Group E. After two rounds of competition, both teams have only one point to show for their efforts. Both teams will know how important it is to get three points in this game. This should make for an interesting matchup, as both teams will sacrifice some defensive stability and play in a very offensive way to try to win. Yet, because Madagascar will be playing at their own stadium, despite the fact that I believe that their team is superior, I believe that the team from Madagascar will be able to win. With all of this in mind, it seems reasonable to conclude that the total number of goals scored will exceed 2.5.
