Prediction Mauritania vs Congo DR season 2026 – Betting Tips for the CAF World Cup Qualifiers on 25 March 2025

Match Overview

The anticipated clash in the CAF World Cup Qualifiers features Mauritania taking on Congo DR at the Stade Olympique de Nouakchott. Set against the vibrant backdrop of Nouakchott, both teams are gearing up for an exciting showdown, each with its own stakes. With only two days remaining until kick-off on March 25, 2025, every moment counts as these nations vie for World Cup qualification.

Team Form

Mauritania has struggled to find its form in this qualification campaign, currently sitting in the fifth position in Group A. With no wins in their last five matches—two draws and three losses—scoring a total of only two goals will surely weigh heavily on their confidence. Their most recent outing against Togo ended in a disappointing draw (2-2), but a previous victory over Cape Verde (1-0) gives a glimpse of potential. However, their record shows they have faced challenges, scoring just twice while conceding seven in the group stage.

In stark contrast, Congo DR has proven itself a formidable opponent, having established a stronghold in second place with three wins, one draw, and only one loss. Their confidence surged after a recent victory over South Sudan (1-0), adding to an impressive tally of five goals scored and only two shipped. With a robust offensive strategy and the capability to hold firm defensively—evident through three clean sheets—they present a considerable challenge to Mauritania.

Match Analysis

Historically, the last encounter between these teams back in November 2023 ended in a 2-0 victory for Congo DR, establishing a psychological advantage for the visitors. Mauritania will need to bolster its attack and solidify its defense to stand a fighting chance; their average of 95 attacks and 51.2 dangerous attacks per game indicates they have the potential but often fail to convert those chances.

On the other hand, Congo DR’s attacking prowess, highlighted by an average of 102.4 attacks alongside an impressive shot conversion rate of 400%, suggests they are likely to find the back of the net consistently.

Betting Suggestions

As the teams prepare to clash, it’s evident that Congo DR is the team in form and should be considered the favorites to win this match. A bet on Congo DR to win (1X2) or an over 2.5 goals in the game seems wise as the visitors are likely to generate significant scoring chances given their current momentum. With both teams battling for crucial points, expect an intense match with Congo DR emerging victorious once again.
