South Africa vs Congo Prediction

Our pick for South Africa vs Congo in African Cup Nations is Under 2.5 goals, with 76% confidence. Recent form: 3 of South Africa's last 5 games went over 2.5 goals (3.4 goals per game in total), against 3 of 5 for Congo (3.6 per game). Form on its own doesn't settle this one: 4 of the 10 recent games went under 2.5, which is worth keeping in mind before backing Under 2.5.

The two sides haven't met recently, so head-to-head history plays no part in this call. At 76%, most of the recent evidence lands on this side of the line, which makes it one of our stronger calls. Final score: 5-0. The pick lost.
