Congo

FIFA Ranking: 117th

Last five games: DLWLL

The Red Devils were totally outclassed by South Africa, conceding five times on the road. They were not at their best, even though they created some meaningful chances. They were wasteful and could have at least found the back of the net. Since securing their first three points this year, scoring once against South Sudan in the opening game, Congo have failed to impress against Uganda and South Africa. Congo's form have retrogressed over the years, and after a poor run in the AFCON Qualifier, Congo Brazzaville will try their luck this time. 

Congo have some top-quality players but failed to work as a team in recent games. Congo have picked up three points from a combined nine, scoring once and conceding seven. 

South Africa

FIFA Ranking: 59th

Last five games: DWDWW

Hugo Broos' men have been at the top of their game lately firing on all cylinders lately, with eleven games without defeat. South Africa head here with a 5-star performance against Congo, scoring five times from their eight shots at goal. It was a goal feast for the Bafana Bafana boys, who were dangerous at every attack they initiated. South Africa managed to keep a clean sheet over their previous seven matches in all competitions. 

South Africa in this campaign have earned them seven points from a combined nine, scoring ten and conceding four goals.

Expert Betting Tips

South Africa have won twice and drawn a game in their last meetings against Congo. The reverse leg was all about South Africa who played one of their best games in a long time. 

Bafana Bafana boys have been in top gear lately, extending their undefeated run to ten in all competitions. 

Congo won their last game on their ground by a lone goal against South Sudan, and they will be confident of amassing all the points at home against their guests. It might not be a smooth sail for the Bafana Bafana boys, but we expect them to score a goal at least before the break for 1.90.

We expect the hosts to at least score here; bet on BTTS for 2.16.

We think this game will produce more than two goals for 2.25.

Good luck!
