Prediction Congo vs Zambia season 2026 – Betting Tips for the CAF World Cup Qualifiers on 23 March 2025

The stage is set for an intense showdown as Congo goes head-to-head with Zambia in the CAF World Cup Qualifiers. Scheduled for March 23, 2025, this clash marks a pivotal moment in the group stage for both teams. As the clock ticks down to kickoff, the stakes couldn't be higher.

Congo: Struggling to Find Form

Congo has had a tumultuous campaign so far, finding themselves languishing at the bottom of their group. With no wins in their last three matches, and a goal difference that paints a grim picture (only 2 goals scored against 13 conceded), they will be desperate to turn their fortunes around. Their recent matches reveal a tendency to struggle against tougher opponents, losing significant matchups against Uganda and South Africa. With an attacking strategy averaging 48.67 attacks per game, they must convert those efforts into effective goal-scoring opportunities. However, with a current goal-scoring drought—failing to find the net in their last two fixtures—they will face an uphill battle against a more dynamic Zambia.

Zambia: Carrying Momentum

In stark contrast, Zambia enters this match riding on a wave of confidence. With a recent victory against Sierra Leone and a solid performance against Côte d'Ivoire, they have secured 3 points and placed themselves above Congo in the group standings. Not just limited to their scoreline, Zambia's attacking play has brought an average of 128 attacks, translating into 6 goals scored thus far. They boast a remarkable shot conversion rate of 600%, illustrating their efficiency in front of goal. Their defensive line, meanwhile, is slightly porous with 7 goals conceded, but their overall form suggests they may be the favorites in this encounter.

Head-to-Head Insight

Last they met, Zambia showcased their potency with a resounding 4-2 victory over Congo in a recent World Cup qualifier match. The dynamic attacking performance highlighted the differences in the two teams' current form, where Zambia emerged not only victorious but more importantly, effective in concluding their attacking plays.

Betting Suggestion

Considering both teams' current form, a bet on Zambia to win appears to be the most sensible bet option for this contest. Expect Congo to struggle yet again as they look to find their feet against a Zambia squad who are scoring with confidence and consistency. Betting on Zambia to secure a victory seems like a promising choice, given their recent exploits on the pitch compared to Congo's struggles in the group stage.
