Les Fauves have been inactive since their memorable 1-1 draw away to Mali, where late goals from Kamory Doumbia and Geoffrey Kondogbia resulted in a shared outcome. However, preceding that draw, Central Africa endured a three-game winless streak, suffering defeats to Angola, Ghana, and Comoros. Despite now entering this match as favorites, Central Africa will aim to maintain their strength, perform at their peak, and capitalize on the vulnerabilities of the Bhutanese team.
Bhutan - LLWLW
Bhutan's last match saw them secure a straightforward 2-0 home victory against Hong Kong in the first round of the FIFA World Cup qualifiers. Chencho Gyeltshen and Lobzang Chogyal found the net in each half to propel their team to victory. Despite this success, the Dragon Boys were ultimately eliminated from the qualifiers with a 4-2 aggregate loss, following a heavy 4-0 defeat in the first leg away from home. Pema Dorji's squad has two friendly matches scheduled in this international window, with another fixture against Sri Lanka slated for the following week.
Expert Betting Tips
The Central African Republic secured a remarkable draw away to Mali in their recent FIFA World Cup qualifier, a result that likely boosted their morale significantly. As a result, they are heavily favored to win this upcoming match. In contrast, Bhutan has not played for almost five months, which could potentially affect their team cohesion due to match rustiness. The South Asian team is considered a long shot to secure a victory here, with bookmakers offering odds of 40. This underscores the significant challenge they face. We predict that the Central African Republic will emerge victorious with a comfortable margin, with goals expected to be scored by both teams.
