DR Congo vs Morocco – With just 180 minutes of action separating them from a place in the 2022 FIFA World Cup, Congo DR and Morocco face off in the first leg of their play-off tie at Stade des Martyrs.
Ahead of next week’s return leg in Casablanca, the teams will be looking to steal a march on each other as they aim to be in the hat for November’s global showpiece.
The teams must compete in a two-legged tie to earn a ticket to Qatar. Both of these squads won their respective groups in the Second Round, and now they face off in the Third Round.
The lower seeded team hosts the first leg. Congo DR is ranked 66th in the world and narrowly won Group J. Keep in mind that the remaining three squads in the group were minnows, and they still struggled to claim the top spot.
Morocco, ranked 24th in the world, dominated Group I in the Second Round. They’ve been on a long run of impressive performances, and they’ve also been scoring a lot of goals.
Additionally, they had an impressive campaign at the recently concluded African Cup of Nations, which will undoubtedly help them in this Third Round. This weekend, the Moroccans will undoubtedly have the upper hand.
DR Congo vs Morocco – Betting Analysis
Congo had lost two of their previous four overall matches and were winless in eight of their previous twelve overall contests. Additionally, they have won just twice in the last twelve months at home.
On the other hand, the Moroccans have won 42 of their last 43 games, including a 12-match winning streak and two separate four-game winning streaks. Furthermore, they far outperformed their opponents in the CAF World Cup Qualifiers’ Second Round.
Morocco should win tomorrow on the road, based on current trends. Congo, on the other hand, was unable to qualify for the main competition.
The Moroccans advanced to the 2021 Cup of Nations Quarter Finals, where they were defeated by eventual champions Egypt – and that too in Extra Time.
