Congo Republic v South Sudan Betting Tips [23 March 2023]

Congo-Brazzaville will be at home on Match Day 3 of the 2024 African Cup of Nations qualifiers to take on South Sudan in Group G. The hosts go inro the game placed second in the group with three points while South Sudan have no points so far. Congo are coming into this game without a win in their last two matches and they also failed to score in those games. They have one clean sheet in the last four matches and haven't managed more than one goal in their last five gams. Four of Congo’s last five matches have had under 2.5 goals and they’ve only managed a win in four matches. Congo opened their campaign in this group with a 4-0 loss to Mali but they beat Gambia 1-0 at home on Match Day 2. They’ve lost twice, but also won twice in their last five matches. Congo will rely greatly on their home form in the AFCON qualifiers; they haven't lost any of the last 10 matches in that run at home. They have five clean sheets in 10 home matches in AFCON qualifiers.

South Sudan are gunning for their first points in this group. They are coming from four straight winless outings, losing three of their last four games. They have managed just one win and one draw in their last five matches. In five matches, South Sudan have managed just two clean sheets and they’ve been really poor defensively, they come into this match having conceded nine goals in the last four matches. In their most recent game, they suffered a 5-0 loss to Ethiopia and they’ve failed to score in three of the last four matches. Three of their last five matches have produced under 2.5 goals. South Sudan will go into this game having failed to score in four of five away matches in AFCON qualifiers.

Congo will definitely go into this game as favorites, but to have an impact, and a desired result here, they have to improve in attack. They play a weak team, and South Sudan haven't done well in attack either so our prediction for Congo v South Sudan is under 2.5 goals.
