DR Congo vs Guinea Prediction & Match Preview

• Congo DR won just one of the last eleven outings in all competitions.
• Guinea lost only twice in their previous ten matches across competitions.
• We did not see three or more goals in any of eight matches these two teams have played at the AFCON combined.

Congo DR reached the quarterfinal of the 2024 CAF Africa Cup of Nations despite not winning any of their four games so far in the tournament. They earned a dramatic 8-7 win on penalties over seven-time champions Egypt on Sunday in the R16 clash.

The regular time ended in a 1-1 draw as Mostafa Mohamed quickly cancelled Meschack Elia’s opener for Congo DR. If we take a deeper look, Congo DR have won only one of the previous eleven matches in all competitions. It was a 2-0 victory over Mauritania in the World Cup qualifications in November last year.

Guinea advanced from a very tough group. They came third in the section with the likes of Senegal and Cameroon. Kaba Diawara’s men have shown great defensive efforts so far in the tournament, conceding just three goals in four games. They eliminated Equatorial Guinea with a 1-0 victory in the last 16 round. Mohamed Bayo scored the last-gasp winner in the eighth minute of stoppage time on Sunday.

Recent Meetings

• Congo DR come into this with four win and a loss in the last five meetings with Guinea.
• The two teams last met each other in the 2018 World Cup qualifications when Congo DR celebrated two wins in two games against Guinea.
• Both teams scored in all five previous head-to-head encounters.

Congo DR vs Guinea Prediction

Both Congo DR and Guinea have done very well defensively throughout the whole tournament. None of eight games these two teams have played combined so far at the AFCON has seen three or more goals scored. Congo DR scored from their lone shot on target in the last 16 round against Egypt while Guinea limited Equatorial Guinea to zero shots on goal in their R16 tie. This should be a tight affair without too many chances on either end. The Under 1.5 goals FT is our main betting option at the odds of 2.20.

The value is with Guinea to win or draw as a double chance pick at the 1.50 odds. Guinea have lost only two of the last ten matches across competitions. The fact they earned a 1-1 draw to Cameroon on the opening day says enough about their quality. Congo DR, on the other side, drew all of their previous four games in the tournament, including the matches against Zambia and Tanzania in the group stage.
