Looking back at their last two meetings, both Namibia and Congo were inseparable, drawing 1-1 in both matches. However, in this continental cup clash in the Africa Cup of Nations Qualifications, the two sides meet again both searching for their first win after going 5 consecutive matches without a victory. Hosts Namibia have clear issues in attack. Their latest match ended in a 0-0 draw, leaving them without a goal in several consecutive games. Although their possession over the last 10 matches has averaged 54%, their finishing still lacks sharpness. Meanwhile, even though Congo lost 0-1 in their latest outing, their away record shows they have held opponents to a draw at half-time in 6 of their last 10 matches, and they have historically held their own in head-to-head encounters. If Congo can seize the moment and take the lead first in this match, the game will force the hosts to push forward, opening up space for the visitors to play comfortably on the counter-attack. Alternatively, a dull draw remains a highly probable outcome.
