Our prediction for the match CAR vs Madagascar
The national team of the Central African Republic is weak even at the continental level. It never made it to the African Cup of Nations. The opponent’s status was similar. “The Islanders” made their debut at the Cup of African Nations in 2019, and even immediately became quarter-finalists there. Still, then the team did not make it to the next such tournaments, including the upcoming one.
Rigobert Song has moved to Central Africa since the beginning of the year. The mentor got a team that won only 1 match (that was the home game against an outsider, Chad) and got only 4 points in the previous rounds. Having won with a 2-1 score in Cameroon after a minimal defeat at the home arena, the team knocked out the favourite of the qualification for the African Nations Championship.
The wards of Corentin Martins started the qualification with a defeat made by the favourite, Ghana. Still, then they won the battles against both Chad and the Comoros Islands, and held a scoreless draw with the potentially strong rival, Mali. The team managed to knock out Eswatini on the way to the African Nations Championship (2-0, 0-1) in December.
