Central African Rep. U20 - DR Congo U20: our prediction

Central African Republic U20's attack is very weak: they scored over 1.5 goals in only 1 of their last 8 matches (12.5% success rate). They even scored 0 goals in 3 of these matches. Against a Congolese defense that conceded only one goal in their last match, it is very unlikely that the home team scores more than one goal.

Central African Republic U20 has seen 4 of its last 8 matches end with under 2.5 goals (50%). DR Congo U20 finished its only recent match with under 2.5 goals (100%). Both teams have unprolific attacks: Central African Republic scored over 1.5 goals per team in only 1/8 matches, and DR Congo 0/1. The home defense often concedes (7/8 matches without a clean sheet). A low-scoring match is likely.

DR Congo U20 is the bookmakers' favorite (odds 1.62). Central African Republic U20 has very poor form: 1 win, 3 draws, and 4 losses in its last 8 matches. DR Congo did not lose its last match (1 draw). Although data on DR Congo is limited (1 match), the home team's poor performance and favorite status support this bet. However, the lack of recent data on DR Congo limits confidence.
