Tanzania vs D.R. Congo Prediction & Tips
Tanzania and DR Congo meet at Benjamin Mkapa National Stadium, in a match for the Qualifiers for the World Cup – Africa (2nd Round). The record of recent direct clashes favors the home team, which in the last 2 matches won 1 and drew 1. It is necessary to analyze with special attention the home/away condition, as Tanzania has different results at home and away.
The home team is currently in the 1st place, with 7 points won, after 2 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss. In the penultimate match, they lost at home to Benin, by (0‑1). In the last match, they won in an away match against Benin, by (0‑1). This is a stronger team when they play at their stadium, as in the last 30 matches they register 3 wins, 4 draws and 8 losses in away matches; against 7 wins, 4 draws and 4 losses in their stadium. In the last 8 home matches Tanzania has a record of 4 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses. The team has conceded goals to its opponent in 5 of the last 6 matches, so they haven’t shown great defensive solidity, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have managed to score in 5 of the last 6 matches for this competition. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 9 times and never managed to turn the score around.
Tanzania enters this match after a 0-1 victory in the trip to Benin, thus returning to triumphs in this qualifying phase for the 2022 World Cup: the only goal of the match was scored by Simon Msuva. Coach Kim Poulsen usually works in a 3-4-3 tactical system, favoring a more offensive style of play, attacking through the side aisles. Up front will be Denis Kibu, Simon Msuva and Ally Samatta, the first two being very fast and the last very competent in finishing. All players from the last game are available for this clash.
The away team is currently in the 3rd position, with 5 points won, after 1 win, 2 draws and 1 loss. In the last match, they lost by (1‑0) away against Madagascar, after having won by (2‑0) at home to Madagascar in the previous match. This is a team little affected by the home factor, that is, they have similar results at home and away, since in the last 30 matches they register 4 wins, 6 draws and 5 losses in away matches, with 18 goals scored and 20 conceded. At home, they won 6 wins, 5 draws and 4 defeats, with a total of 18 goals scored and 13 conceded. In the last 10 away matches in all competitions, DR Congo has won 2, drawn 4 and lost 4. The team has conceded goals to the opponent in 3 of the last 4 matches, so they haven’t shown great defensive solidity, but their attack has marked with regularity, as they have managed to score in 3 of the last 4 matches for this competition. In 15 matches, they have only turned the score around in the 7 matches they have conceded the first goal. In the last 9 away matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 4 of their 9 goals between minutes (31’‑45′).
The Democratic Republic of Congo enters this game after a 1-0 defeat, in the trip to Madagascar, putting an end to the three straight games without losing in this qualifying phase for the World Cup 2022. In this game against Tanzania, the coach Héctor Cúper should play in 4-4-2 with Dieumerci Mbokani and Cédric Bakambu being the forward men of the team. It should be noted that visitors have had some problems in the defensive dead balls. Out of this game is Samuel Moutoussamy due to suspension.
