Congo Republic vs Morocco Prediction & Betting Tips - World Cup

Prediction published on 11/06/2024, 06:36  by Daniel Ngulu in World Cup Predictions

Congo will be hoping to bring to order their 2026 World Cup qualification campaign when they host Morocco on Tuesday, in Morocco. With Eritrea’s withdrawal from the qualifiers, Group E has five teams, with Congo at the bottom of it. They are yet to bag a point, while here they face a team already on six points. Congo were scheduled to take on Niger in their second game but the game was postponed owing to unavailability of a venue. To avoid another postponement, CAF scheduled this game to be staged in Morocco. Congo will now hope to improve on their 4-2 loss to Zambia in their first Group E game. Back in March, Congo played to a 1-1 draw with Gabon in a friendly match. That happens to be their only game of 2024 and will hope things get smoother onwards. Playing their home game away from home, in Morocco against Morocco works against Congo. They have faced Morocco three times and won none of those games, losing twice. They come here without a win in any of their last four matches.

Everything seems to be working in Morocco’s favor. Here they have the chance to go a possible six points clear at the top of Group E, with a win. They already have a three-point buffer after beating second placed Zambia in their Friday game. Playing an away game at home means their chances of making yet another appearance at the World Cup remain high. The highest ranked nation in the CAF region has all it takes to go into this game and easily bag three points. This is not only informed by their head-to-head record but they face a side largely made up of inexperienced call-ups as well. It is also important to note that in the last 16 World Cup qualification matches, Morocco are yet to taste defeat. In those 16 matches, they won 12. Even when playing as the away team they won five of six World Cup qualification matches.
