Prediction: 1-1
Comoros
Madagascar will look to build on a 3-0 win over Chad when they welcome Comoros to their FNB Stadium in the World Cup 3rd qualifying round. Romuald Rakotondrabe’s troops aim to climb to the qualification berth and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against Comoros. A man to watch in the home team will be Njiva Rakotoharimalala, who scored a brace in the second group game.
Les Coelacantes, on the other hand, aim to keep their 100% record intact in Group I. Madagascar, though, are tough to beat at home, which is probably the main reason why we are going to bet on draw. There are no fresh injury worries in the visiting team ahead of the trip to FNB Stadium. You should bear in mind that under 2.5 goals have been netted in each of the previous two meetings between the two sides.
Highlighted Team (Madagascar):
Nicknamed the Barea, Madagascar are the African national team that affiliates to CAF (Confederation of African Football). Madagascar made their debut on the international stage in 1947, with the team suffering a 2-1 loss to Mauritius in front of home fans.
The Barea wear green shirts and green shorts when playing at home, whilst their away colours are red and white. Madagascar have never participate at the FIFA World Cup finals, but in 2019 they qualified for their first ever Africa Cup of Nations.
The Barea were grouped with the likes of Nigeria, Burundi and Guinea, with the team making their debut at the tournament against the National Elephants. Speaking of Madagascar’s titles, the Barea did well to win two Indian Ocean Island Games (1990, 1993), with the team beating the likes of Mauritius and Reunion in the title games respectively. Madagascar are affiliated to both CAF (confederation) and COSAFA (sub-confederation).
