D.R. Congo vs Guinea Prediction: Expect a competitive encounter

Stade des Martyrs will host the AFCON qualifier between D.R. Congo and Guinea. The last time these two teams met was in February, and D.R. Congo won 3-1. How will this one end?

D.R. Congo will come into this game with confidence as they look to extend their history in this fixture. In their last encounter, D.R. Congo played Togo in a World Championship Qualification. In that encounter, they won 1-0, thanks to Meschack Elia’s early strike in the 6th minute. In their last matches in this one, D.R. Congo won two, lost two, and drew one.

Guinea will look to return to winning ways after suffering a defeat against Mozambique last time out in the World Championship qualifier. In the meantime, this team went three successive wins in prior encounters to that defeat. In that run, Guinea defeated Bermuda, Vanuatu, and Algeria in games that ended 5-1, 6-0, and 1-2. In their last matches, Guinea won four games while losing twice.

I feel the D.R. Congo still has what it takes to get the job done in this fixture. In this fixture, this team has always been decent, as they have yet to suffer a defeat since 2005. Meanwhile, Guinea actually looks a bit decent recently, especially with their win against Algeria. Expect this game to be close, with both teams expected to find the back of the net. Yet, D.R. Congo looks like the real deal, and I am certain they will take maximum points.
