Madagascar vs D.R. Congo Prediction & Betting tips
For Madagascar, the journey continues – the newcomer meets in the second round on the DR Congo. It was unlikely that the Madagascans would reach the playoffs. The kickers from the island celebrate their premiere at the Africa Cup of Nations and have a playfully very limited team. However, Madagascar has been able to compensate for this deficiency so far by his combative performance. Much better occupied is the Congo. However, the team of coach Florent Ibenge found it hard to get into the African Cup. The defeat against Uganda was followed by a defeat against hosts Egypt.
In both games not even a own goal was landed. In the final group match, the leopards stood with their backs to the wall, but they delivered and defeated Zimbabwe 4-0. This was the highest victory of a nation during the group stage. It seems that the team around captain Chancel Mbemba has caught out of central defense. In Madagascar against DR Congo, the tip also suggests that the continent’s second largest country will qualify for the quarter-finals. The Madagascar is played against DR Congo forecast with five units as mission amount.
Madagascar:
In front of the favored Super Eagles from Nigeria, Madagascar finished first in Group B in the preliminary round. The placement is without question one of the biggest surprises at the Africa Cup of Nations. The success story of “Barea”, which already began with the first participation in the tournament, thus goes into the next round. The merit is due not only to the brave fighting team, but above all to the French coach Nicolas Dupuis. The 51-year-old has held the position for over three years and awakened the football on the fourth largest island of the globe from the slumber.
The “Red Islander” started in the first round with a respectable victory against Guinea. The 2: 2 represented the first point win at the African Cup, but the opponent could also use his superstar Naby Keita injured only as a part-time force on the lawn. Following was defeated in the duel of newcomers Burundi. A somewhat lucky victory, as the Burundian selection at least equal occurred and the victory with 1: 0 also narrowly failed. At the same time, the goal was a proof that Madagascar was not a completely white sheet technically, as the goal came in the form of a notable free kick by Marco Ilaimaharita of the Belgian first division side RSC Charleroi.
The culmination of a more than successful group stage brought the final game against Nigeria. With 2: 0, the three-time champions were defeated. It was the first victory in the third direct duel. Although the Nigerians were more game-defining, the historic success was not entirely undeserved. The Congolese should also have in the coming match, especially Carolus Andriamatsinoro, short Andria in the eye. The attacker kicks at club level at Al-Adalah FC in Saudi Arabia and this only in the second-rate MS League, although the club now succeeded in promotion, but in the national team Andria flourishes regularly: he has met in four of his last six missions for Madagascar.
DR Congo:
Two years ago, the first playoff game was already the last for the Congolese. With 1: 2, the leopard of the Elf of Ghana had beaten. This time, of course, it should run better and after the last group match against Zimbabwe, the hope from the perspective of the fans has grown again. With 4: 0, the Warriors were beaten and bowed out of the competition.
After the disappointing first two group matches, in which defeats were collected without own goals, was in the match, a further increase in shape recorded. Already in the previous match against the hosts, the performance was not bad, especially in the offensive and much better than the Grottenkick to kick off against Uganda, which in a playful way, of course, at least one league among the Pharaohs can be arranged.
However, Jonathan Bolingi will not be able to play in the upcoming match. The 25-year-old from Antwerp FC in the Belgian Jupiler League scored the 1-0 before his injury-related substitution in the recent game against Zimbabwe. The responsibility in the storm is now even more on the shoulders of Cedric Bakambu. The striker of Beijing Guon, the league leaders in the Chinese Super League, is anyway the strongest scorer on the side of the Congo. In qualifying Bakambu scored three goals in four appearances and against Zimbabwe, he put his stoppage even at the African Cup with two goals.
With ten goals in just 21 international matches, the offensive player is increasingly becoming a member of the Congolese edition of a Mohamed Salah in Egypt. Perhaps Bakambu is still following in the footsteps of Junior Kabananga, who became the top scorer at the Africa Cup of Nations in the last edition, despite the early retirement. In Madagascar against DR Congo, the odds for the next goal success of Cedric Bakambu are also worth a recommendation.
