Angola
Central Africa play host to Angola at their Stade de la Reunification in round 5 of the 2024 AFCON qualifiers. Central Africa climbed to second place thanks to back-to-back wins over Madagascar, but Angola are still breathing down their neck. A man to watch in the home team will be Quevilly Rouen attacker Louis Mafouta, who has already netted four goals in the process.
The Black Antelopes, on the other hand, should be happy with one point from Saturday’s clash as Central Africa take on Group E leaders Ghana on the road in the decider. Taking everything into account, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on draw. Ludogorets midfielder Show has overcome his injury, while the opposition back-line should have Reading forward Lucas Joao at bay. Earlier in the process Angola defeated Central Africa 2-1.
Highlighted Team (Angola):
Angola national football team are controlled by Angola Football Federation. The Palancas Negras are affiliated to both CAF and COSAFA and they play their home matches at Estadio 11 de Novembro. Angola did well to qualify for the 2006 FIFA World Cup, but they failed to book their place in the last 16 on their debut at the showpiece tournament.
The African side faced the likes of Portugal, Mexico and Iran in Group D, with the team sharing the spoils with Iran and Mexico, while suffering a loss to Portugal. The Palancas Negras have been struggling to qualify for the FIFA World Cup finals ever since, but they made it to the Africa Cup of Nations on two occasions (2008, 2010).
Angola wear red shirts and black shorts when hosting their rivals, whereas their away kit is white. It has to be noted that the Palancas Negras suffered a 3-2 loss to Congo in their first ever international.
