South Africa vs D.R. Congo Prediction & Betting Tips (10 February)

DR Congo, captained by former Porto player Chancel Mbemba and with Simon Banza from Braga as an attacking option, recorded three draws in the group stage, later beating Egypt and Guinea-Conakry. The Leopards, due to their defensive robustness and team spirit, even seemed destined to be present in the final of the competition, but could not resist the hosts, and then fell in the semi-finals against Ivory Coast, 0-1.

As explained earlier, the South Africans see the majority of their squad playing in the local league, which is also one of the most competitive on the continent. Only two South African players play in Europe (Sithole at Tondela and Mayambela at Aris Limassol), even if Percy Tau (1 goal in this CAN) played in the past at Brighton and remains the star of Bafana Bafana . South Africa's lightning attack almost makes us forget the loss of Strasbourg striker Mothiba (injured). He left the torch to Makgopa (Orlando), who is coming back strong after a long injury, and Themba Zwane (Mamelodi, 2 goals) who is taking the reins offensively.

The first made an assist and scored a goal while the second scored twice in the victory against Namibia. Let's not forget the midfielder Mokoena, author of the sumptuous free kick synonymous with qualification for the quarters. Note the package of the little used midfielder Maseko.
