Gabon vs Central African Republic Prediction: With Aubameyang and Mafouta for both sides, expect goals in this exciting fixture

Gabon will lock horns with Central African Republic at the Stade Franceville Stadium on Tuesday. The Panthers have a hurdle to overcome when they host their opponent, as they must win here to guarantee their spot in next season’s AFCON tournament.

The Panthers head here with a disappointing performance against Morocco on the road. The high-flying Moroccan team outclassed Gabon as they conceded four and scored once. The defeat was after their (3-2) victory over Gambia at home. Gabon, who had a slumping record at the AFCON Championship, will be keen to return to the competition.

Gabon have failed to keep a clean sheet over their last eleven matches and must be at their best not to concede here. 

Central Africa

FIFA Ranking: 128th

Last five games: WWWLW

Raoul Savoy's men bounced back from their recent defeat against Ghana, putting three goals past Lesotho in their opening game. It was an end-to-end game as Louis Mafouta scored a brace to register his fourteenth international goal. 

Central African Republic, who went toe to toe with the Ghanaian team, were denied points in a seven-goal thriller on the road. Central African Republic are the second lowest-rated side in this group, and they’ll be out to prove themselves against the likes of Morocco and Gabon.

Expert Betting Tips

Gabon were tactically outsmarted by the Moroccan church, but they were not entirely bad in the game. They know better now and will pull off a stunning comeback against the guests, who can also be dangerous on their days; we expect Gabon to win or draw and BTTS here for 2.98.
