The Central African Republic enters the match in poor form: their defeat to Madagascar only highlighted the team's issues both in attack and defensive organization. With five points and sitting fifth in the standings, they have essentially lost any realistic chance of competing for a top-2 finish and are playing more for pride.

Comoros, on the other hand, despite a recent loss to Mali, remain in a strong position—they are tied for second place in the group and continue to contend for advancement to the next stage. Moreover, in their only head-to-head clash, the "Coelacanths" were the stronger side, securing a confident 4-2 victory.

Motivation and level of play favor the visitors. The Central African Republic is unlikely to pose a serious challenge, whereas this is an excellent opportunity for Comoros to get back in the race and solidify their standing. However, our prediction is cautious: Comoros will not lose.
