Second placed Congo will continue their quest in Group G of the 2024 African Cup of Nations qualifiers with a home match against South Sudan on Match Day 3. Heading into this game, Congo have three points and bottom placed South Sudan have none so far. The hosts will aim to bounce back after two outings without a win and they should walk into this game as favorites. They have two wins and three clean sheets in the last five matches but those wins are all they’ve managed in the last 14 matches. In AFCON qualification matches, they have three wins only in the last 10 games and their scoring returns in this competition haven’t been the best. In the last five matches in AFCON qualification, Congo have managed just one goal. However, they are unbeaten in 10 home matches in this competition and will be hoping to extend that.

South Sudan are on a worse run; their last five matches have returned just one win, and they head into this game having failed to win any of their last four games. They have three losses in four matches and only two clean sheets in five. In the last four matches alone, South Sudan have conceded nine goals and they come with just two wins in their last 10 matches. They aren’t really a force in African football and in their last 10 AFCON qualification games, they have managed just three wins and lost the rest. In eight of their last 10 away matches in this competition, South Sudan have failed to score.
