AFCON DRAWS
DR Congo v Guinea
ODDS – DRAW $TBA
FORM / STATS – The third last game between these sides ended in a 1-1 draw. So we’re off to a decent start. Guinea drew one of their games during the group stage, but they can’t top DR Congo who drew all three of their group games. DR Congo then went on to draw their first knockout game after 90 minutes and progress on penalties. So they are in the quarter finals without winning a game in regular time. Drawing all four so far. What more do you need to get behind the draw here.
Cape Verde v South Africa
ODDS – DRAW $TBA
FORM / STATS – The last time these two teams met in the AFCON not a goal was scored. Which is good news for draw freaks and isn’t that why you’re here. Both teams drew their final group stage game too.
