Gabon vs Central African Republic Prediction and Betting Tips | 10th September 2024

Gabon will welcome the Central African Republic to Stade de Franceville in the Africa Cup of Nations qualification campaign on Tuesday. The hosts are in search of their first win while the visitors will hope to build on their early momentum.

Gabon vs Central African Republic Preview

Gabon were defeated in their first match of the qualifiers, losing 4-1 to Morocco in Agadir, which leaves the central Africans bottom of Group B. They will be looking to claim their first win at home in the upcoming clash against Central African Republic (CAR). The teams last met in 2009, with the visitors emerging victorious 2-1.

Les Panthères did not participate in the 2023 Africa of Nations held in Cote D’Ivoire after failing to qualify. The authorities have called on the team to “make the Gabonese people happy this time” by clinching a ticket to the upcoming edition slated for Morocco in 2025. Gabon won their last home game, beating Gambia 3-0.

Central African Republic defeated Lesotho 3-1 in their first game to claim the second spot in Group B on three points behind top-placed Morocco. Their objective in Gabon is to consolidate their position in the group. Only the top two finishers will qualify for the final tournament, with five matchdays still to play.

Les Fauves will likely be unfazed by the home crowd in Franceville, as they have been playing most of their home matches away from home. The game against Lesotho took place in the Moroccan city of El Jadida due to concerns about CAR’s stadiums. The visitors are in search of a historic qualification for the Africa Cup of Nations.
