Get Your Claim Bonus!DR Congo vs Morocco: The Moroccans will be favoured ahead of the return leg
The DR Congo team made it to the final of qualification rather unexpectedly, as their status is quite low. The team was in a group with no strong opponents in the group stage, thanks to which they became the best there. In the group, the Moroccan team won six games. The Moroccans played in the African Cup of Nations in the winter, where they failed to beat Egypt in the quarter-finals (they lost on penalties).
In this match, we see the Morocco team as the clear favourite. Their class is much higher than DR Congo, and resources are quite different. They are a serious contender in the upcoming Mundial, while DR Congo can only dream of it. The Moroccans are certainly not going to put matters off - they will beat their opponents in the first leg, making the return leg a formality.
- Bet: W2
Egypt vs Senegal: The CAN finalists keep the risks to a minimum
Both qualifiers qualified for the 2022 World Cup with no problems, winning their groups by wide margins. More interestingly, they met in the finals of the Africa Cup of Nations in February. In 120 minutes of playing time, the winner was not decided (0-0), but in the penalty shootout, Senegal beat Egypt 4-2 to become the tournament’s triumphant.
Obviously, Egypt will want to avenge Senegal’s defeat in the CAN final and leave them without a ticket to Qatar, but it will be incredibly difficult to do so. As this is the first match, you can’t expect a goal extravaganza here. We’ll probably see something similar to February’s encounter - a very cautious game with minimal risk. After all, there’s a lot at stake. Therefore, we’ll put our money on Total Under.
- Bet: Total Under (2.5)
France vs Ivory Coast: France’s stellar attack is unstoppable for the Ivorians
The French team easily qualified for the 2022 World Cup, winning the group by a respectable margin. Now the reigning world champions can prepare for the World Cup, worryingly exploring various combinations and line-up variations in friendlies. Ivory Coast, too, can perform without pressure because they will not be travelling to Qatar. The Ivorians didn’t even make it to the final of qualification - they crashed out after the group stage, losing there in the final round to Cameroon.
The Ivorian side had a poor showing in qualifying for the 2022 World Cup and failed to impress at the last Africa Cup of Nations, dropping out in the last eight. France’s star attack, and with the support of their fans in Marseille, will surely try to show their best side. A bet on at least two goals for the home team looks great in this case.
- Bet: Total 1 Over (2.5)
