Namibia vs Congo Prediction 24 September 2026
🔊 Neither side featured at the last Africa Cup of Nations, and Congo have not reached the finals since 2015. In qualifying for the 2027 tournament, the top two teams in the group will advance, with Cameroon the favourites. Second place will most likely be contested between Namibia, Congo and Comoros, so dropping points at the start could prove costly. Namibia have no CAF-approved stadium of their own: their matchday 1 fixture on 24 September will be hosted in Francistown, Botswana, at the Obed Itani Chilume Stadium.
Head-to-Head
The two sides have met just twice. The most recent match was played in Congo and ended 1-1.

Namibia Team Overview
The World Cup came and went without Namibia, and Collin Benjamin has begun a rebuild: more than ten new players were called up to the squad at the start of the year. It has not produced results yet. In March, during a FIFA friendly series in Astana, Namibia lost to Kazakhstan 0-2 and drew 0-0 with Comoros, winning that one only on penalties. The extended squad for the qualifier includes experienced names in Peter Shalulile and Deon Hotto, as well as AmaZulu captain Rían Hanamub. The hosts have a busy schedule: they travel to Comoros on 28 September, then face Russia in a friendly in Yekaterinburg on 3 October.

Congo Team Overview
Congo wrapped up their World Cup qualifying campaign in October 2025 with a 0-1 defeat to Morocco in Rabat. Since then, the coaching staff has changed - Claude Le Roy has taken charge, with Omar Daf, the former Amiens manager, joining as his assistant. For Le Roy, this is a return: in 2015 he guided Congo to the Africa Cup of Nations quarter-finals. He has also recalled Thievy Bifouma - one of the standout players from that tournament - who had not been called up since the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying campaign. The coaching staff have also been targeting players with dual nationality, and four players from the domestic league have been included in the squad. After Francistown, Congo face Cameroon on 29 September in Brazzaville.

Total Goals Prediction
Namibia have scored more than one goal in just 2 of their last 19 matches. Playing at home barely changes the picture: their scoring rate there is only marginally higher. So we are not expecting Namibia to score more than one goal here. Our bet is Namibia Team Total - Under 1.5.
Risky Bet
Namibia Team Total - Over 1.5 - an option for those who believe in the hosts' home record. Namibia generally score infrequently, but noticeably more often in home matches. If the game opens up, two goals from the hosts is a realistic scenario. The risk is that this bet goes against Namibia's main tendency: their attack usually manages just one goal.
Correct Score Prediction
According to the algorithm's calculations, the most likely outcomes are: 1:0 (13.32%), 1:1 (13.17%) and 0:0 (10.71%). All three reflect the low-scoring match expected in this fixture.
⭐ Editor's Prediction
At home, Namibia have lost or drawn in 8 of their last 9 matches. In AFCON qualifying they have gone seven matches in a row without a win. Congo's defence offers an opening: they have conceded in each of their last 12 matches. However, Namibia have failed to score more than one goal in 17 of their last 19 matches. Congo have the same ceiling: they have not scored more than one goal per game in six matches in a row. Away from home, Congo have won just once in their last 19 matches. We expect a tight game and a draw. The bet is Congo not to lose. Predicted score - 1:1.
