Prediction: 2-0
Madagascar
D.R. Congo and Madagascar go head to head on neutral location (Rabat) in the 2022 World Cup qualifier. D.R. Congo head into the match following back-to-back draws with Tanzania and Benin, and, no doubt, they will give 100% to record their first win of the process. As always, a man to watch in the home team will be experienced attacker Dieumerci Mbokani, who found the net in the 1-1 draw with Benin, while in-form Brentford attacker Yoane Wissa, who scored a late winner at West Ham at the weekend.
Madagascar, on the other hand, made a slow start to their World Cup qualifying campaign, with the team losing to both Benin and Tanzania in the previous two league fixtures. The Barea are low on spirits ahead of the trip to Rabat, and seeing that the Leopards are desperate to record their first win of the process, the visitors are likely to return home empty-handed.
