DR Congo vs Togo Prediction: The Leopards will get off to a great start against their guests

The Leopards will continue their World Cup Qualifying campaign with a matchup against Togo at the Martyr’s Stadium on Sunday. DR Congo, who have picked up four points from a combined nine in this round, will be keen to secure the maximum points against Togo tomorrow. 

DR Congo

FIFA Ranking: 63rd

Last five matches: WWLLD

The Leopards head here with a deserved (1-1) stalemate against Senegal away from home. Fiston Mayele, who came in as a sub, scored with just a minute on the pitch to cancel their opponent's goal before the break. 

After their successful run in the AFCON Tournament, Sebastien Desabre's men will play their first match. DR Congo head here with a defeat and two victories in this round. They began their FIFA World Cup campaign with a comfortable (2-0) win over Mauritian but suffered a shocking defeat against Sudan away from home. 

Sebastien Desabre has been pretty solid since his appointment, and we expect a solid performance from his men here. 

Togo

FIFA Ranking: 113th

Last five games: DLWLD

The Sparrowhawks surrendered to another stalemate on their ground as they have now drawn three last three matches in this competition. After finding the back of the net in the 61st minute, Roger Aholou put the ball in his own net to deny Togo the maximum points.

Togo have managed just a win over their previous six games in all competitions. In this qualifying round, Togo had drawn their last two games against South Sudan and Senegal. It wasn’t a bad result, considering they played one away game and squared off against one of the best teams in the continent, Senegal. 

Togo's previous appearance in this competition secured them a second-place finish; unfortunately, it was Senegal who made it out of the group after going six games without defeat.

Expert Betting Tips

DR Congo have won twice, while Togo have recorded a win over their last three meetings. The Leopards fought pretty hard to secure a point on the road against Senegal. At the same time, Togo couldn’t secure the maximum points against an average South Sudan team.

Even though the home team are always the favorite when playing in Africa, we think the visitors can’t be underestimated. With Kevin Denkey, Marouf Tchakei, and Bebou up front for the guests, they will always find the back of the net. We believe both teams will get a goal apiece here for 2.85.

DR Congo will likely get the first goal here and probably before the break. 

We expect to see more than two goals here for 2.61.

Good luck!
