Our prediction for this Africa Cup of Nations 2024 match:
Congo will be aiming to make amends for a heavy 4-0 loss to Mali when they welcome Gambia to their Stade Alphonse Massemba-Debat. The Red Devils were anything but good in their opener, but they are surely capable of matching Gambia in front of home fans. Head coach Paul Put could opt to make changes to the team that suffered the defeat at Mali, with all Makoumbou, Mboungou, and Ibara pushing for a start.
The Scorpions, on the other hand, aim to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over South Sudan. Gambia, though, are not regarded as good travelers, which is probably the main reason why we are going to put our money on draw. Men to watch in the away team will be Barrow and Jallow, who helped Gambia beat South Sudan in their opener.
