Prediction, preview and head to head: Zimbabwe vs Congo DR

Match analysis

DR Congo beat Equatorial Guinea 2-0 on 24 September, and Superior's correct score for Zimbabwe vs Congo DR in AFCON qualifying on 28 September is a 1-0 away win, with 3-1 to the visitors as the alternative. DR Congo have conceded five goals in five games against a run that includes Portugal, Colombia and England.

DR Congo drew 1-1 with Portugal in June

Superior's expected goals come from each side's measured scoring and conceding, checked against a baseline so a short run cannot swing them too far. DR Congo's defeats in that run were 1-0 to Colombia and 2-1 to England, and they also beat Uzbekistan 3-1. Zimbabwe's trip to Nigeria in May ended in a 2-0 defeat.

Zimbabwe scored three in Sierra Leone four days earlier

The 1-0 needs a Zimbabwe blank, and Zimbabwe have scored nine goals in five games, including a 3-2 win in Sierra Leone on 24 September and a 3-0 win in Botswana in March. Superior also rates Zimbabwe's attack at 6.1 against a DR Congo defence at 5.7, the one comparison in this fixture that leans Zimbabwe's way. A single Zimbabwe goal turns the 1-0 into a 1-1.
