DR Congo vs Guinea Betting Tips

Both Teams to Score – Yes 27/20

Both Teams to Score – Yes 27/20

DR Congo shocked world football when the knocked out the Pharaohs in the previous round. Football analysts said that this was a testament to how much African football has improved over the years. One can help but wonder if that result was DR Congo riding their luck or sheer skill from their side. Is it part of their game plan to draw all their games? Whatever it is, it is working.

Angola have been impressive so far in the tournament this tournament with two wins, a loss, and a draw in the tournament. All they needed in the previous match was a single goal to progress. They will need more than that to dispatch DR Congo who have found a way to match their opponent’s stride for stride. I am convinced that Angola will score in this fixture, however, we will see the same from DR Congo.

Double Chance – Draw or Away 49/100

DR Congo are on a streak of three wins in row against Guinea, with their three previous meetings ending with a DR Congo win. Their last meeting was in the qualifying round of this competition. DR Congo won by three goals to Guinea’s two, that was back in 2017. A win for Guinea in this fixture is overdue. I do not have faith in them doing it in the prescribed 90 minutes, that is why I have opted for the double chance draw or away 49/100 as my market of choice.

Anytime Goal Scorer – Mohammed Bayo 31/10

A player who has made the difference for Guinea in this tournament is Mohammed Bayo. He has contributed 2 goals in four appearances to Guinea’s efforts in this year’s CAF Africa Cup of Nations. If Guinea are to progress, he will have to do it again. The odds on him finding the back of the net against this opponent are 31/10.
