Bet on a draw
On paper, 59th ranked South Africa who will be playing this game at home will be the favourites, especially as they have home advantage. However, in reality, it is different. South Africa are one of the most inconsistent teams on the African continent. Even though they finished third at the Afcon earlier this year, they have also failed to qualify for four out of the last seven Afcon tournaments and they have not played at the World Cup since 2010. This shows how inconsistent Bafana Bafana are.
Congo will cause them problems. While Hugo Broos’ men wlll dominate posession in this game, there is a good chance that they will end up being held to a draw.
Bet on the game to end 1-1
Bafana Bafana tend to sometimes be caught off-guard defensively especially when playing against teams that they may not be used to playing against. Lyle Foster plays his football for Burnley in England while Themba Zwane is a veteran and a key player for Mamelodi Sundowns who are one of the best teams in Africa. Though Congo will use their physicality to their advantage, the South African’s are bound to find at least one goal.
Congo may score against the run of play, finding Bafana Bafana off-guard defensively.
Bet on both teams to score
Bafana Bafana struggle to keep clean sheets, especially when they are up against physical teams such as Congo. They have conceded in their last two games as they lost their last match 3-1 against Zimbabwe. Prior to that, they were held to a 1-1 draw by Mozambique in the COSAFA Cup.
