Head-to-Head

This will be the first recorded senior international meeting between Comoros and Congo.

Comoros Form

Comoros sit second in Group G with three points from their opening two qualifiers, one point behind leaders Cameroon.

Hubert Velud's side began with a 3-1 defeat away to Cameroon before recovering with a 1-0 home victory over Namibia.

They subsequently lost 1-0 away to Senegal in an October friendly, having previously beaten Equatorial Guinea 1-0 in June.

Comoros have scored only three goals in their last five internationals, but their defensive performances have kept them competitive.

Velud has strengthened his squad for the November fixtures, recalling Faïz Selemani, Rafiki Saïd and Ismaël Boura. Their return should provide additional attacking options and experience.

Congo Form

Congo are bottom of Group G with one point from their opening two qualifiers.

They began with a 1-0 defeat away to Namibia before holding Cameroon to a 1-1 draw at home.

Those results extended a difficult period for the Red Devils, who have now gone 15 matches without victory.

Their recent results also include a 1-0 defeat against Morocco and a 3-1 loss to Niger.

Coach Claude Le Roy has recalled experienced forward Thievy Bifouma and Guy Mbenza for the November qualifiers, hoping to improve a side that has struggled to convert competitive performances into victories.

Congo have conceded in each of their last 15 matches, highlighting their defensive vulnerability.

Verdict

Comoros v Congo

A closely contested encounter is likely, but Comoros look better equipped to secure all three points.
