Both teams to score: No

These teams are meeting for the first time and so, we expect a tense fixture where both teams will struggle to find the net. Despite a poor run of form for the hosts after recording 1D and 5L in the last six matches, a chance to qualify for the 2022 World Cup is not something to waste, especially at home.

Few goals at full-time

We are also tipping few goals at full-time in this fixture. At this stage in CAF World Cup 2022 qualifiers, every team has a chance of making the next rounds. Cape Verde is traditionally a tough opponent but we don't think they will find it easy away from home, especially in the first Group C qualifier match.

Away victory

We are giving Cape Verde a narrow edge in this match. The visitors have a better record of 3W, 2D and 1L in the last six matches than 1D and 5L for the hosts. While this will be the first encounter with the Central African Republic, an away win looks plausible in this fixture.

Game Preview: The Central African Republic and Cape Verde Clash for the First Time

These teams will lock horns for the first time, a fixture that is already generating a lot of excitement across Africa. The big question is which team will emerge as Group C leaders among Cape Verde, Central African Republic, Liberia and Nigeria? Read more about this match in our game preview below.

The central African Republic

Central African Republic is ranked 123^rd by FIFA. The hosts are drawn alongside Nigeria, Cape Verde and Liberia in Group C of CAF World Cup 2022 qualifiers. The hosting coach is Francois Zahoui, an Ivorian tactician who took over the Central African Republic national team in September 2019. However, the reign of the Ivorian has been dominated by a poor run of results, having registered an average of 0.78 points in 9 games since taking over. Zahoui previously managed Niger's national team before switching to the Central African Republic.

Cape Verde

With a better run of form than the hosts, Cape Verde hopes they can bag their first victory in the first Group C match. A win for the visitors could vitally push them to do even better in the next World Cup qualifier fixtures. The visitors are 77^th on FIFA rankings, making them one of the best teams in Africa. Cape Verde's entourage to the Central African Republic will be led by head coach, Bubista. Bubista has seen out seven games, during which he has averaged 1.57 points.
