Our detailed World Cup Qualifiers 2026 predictions break down every must-wager clash across CAF, CONCACAF, and UEFA to spot the most accurate bet.
Main Betting Tip: Under 2.5 Goals
The statistical profile and recent results indicate that this fixture is likely to be tightly contested and low scoring. Cameroon’s capacity to control matches at home and DR Congo’s pragmatic approach on the road suggest a match in which both teams prioritise defensive organisation over open attacking play. Under 2.5 goals is therefore the recommended Over/Under selection. The under 2.5 goals market is available on Betwinner with boosted odds that could offer the most valuable wager.
Betting Tip 2: DC Cameroon/Draw
Cameroon’s home form is a decisive factor in this fixture. Across their qualifying campaign, they have been defensively robust, conceding only five goals in ten matches and remaining unbeaten at home. The Stade Al Barid should offer a familiar environment in which they can control tempo and frustrate opponents. DR Congo possesses attacking quality and has accumulated more wins in the group, but their two defeats and relative inconsistency on the road make them vulnerable against a Cameroonian side that combines defensive discipline with efficient attacking transitions. Given the available markets, the best quoted odds for a Double Chance Cameroon victory/Draw are 1xBet at 1.26.

Betting Tip 3: Both teams score? No
The defensive statistics for both teams point towards a low likelihood of both sides finding the net. Cameroon have conceded only five goals in the qualification campaign and kept multiple clean sheets, including in their most recent 0:0 draw with Angola. DR Congo have been efficient but not prolific in away matches and have conceded on several occasions; however, against a resolute Cameroonian defence the expectation is that goals will be scarce. The market offers contrasting values — Betwinner quotes Yes at 2.20 and No at 1.60 — and the more prudent play, given the defensive form and the likely tactical caution in an important qualifier, is the No selection at the quoted 1.60 on Betwinner.

Manager: Marc Brys; The Cameroonian side has demonstrated solidity throughout the qualifying phase, accumulating 19 points from 10 fixtures with a record of 5 wins, 4 draws and a single defeat. Their goal differential of +12 (17 scored, 5 conceded) highlights a balanced team capable of both scoring and preventing goals. At home, Cameroon have enjoyed a formidable record — 4 wins and 1 draw from five matches — signalling strong support and tactical control on familiar turf. Their most recent outing was a 0:0 draw against Angola, a result that underscores the team’s continued defensive organisation even when a breakthrough proves elusive. Coming into this match they carry form comprising 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 defeat in their last five matches across all competitions.
DR Congo team news!
Manager: Sébastien Desabre; DR Congo lead marginally on points with 22 from 10 fixtures, featuring 7 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats and a goal record of 15:6. Their away form of 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat demonstrates they can perform on the road, though their two losses in the group indicate potential vulnerability. In their most recent match DR Congo secured a 1:0 victory over Sudan, reflecting their capacity to grind out narrow results. The team’s last five-match sequence across competitions stands at 3 wins and 2 defeats, a run that points to strong winning ability tempered by occasional lapses.
H2H statistics
The head-to-head record over the last five meetings between these two nations shows an advantage for Cameroon: 3 wins for Cameroon and 2 draws, with no victories recorded by DR Congo in those fixtures. The most recent direct encounter concluded with a 2:1 win for Cameroon. This historical dominance, particularly in terms of results rather than one-off performances, provides the Cameroonian side with a psychological edge heading into the forthcoming qualifier.
Last results Cameroon
In their last five matches across all competitions Cameroon have registered 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 defeat. The current form indicates a side that is difficult to beat, particularly at home, and one which has maintained defensive consistency. The most recent game, a 0:0 draw versus Angola, highlights their tendency to produce clean-sheet performances while occasionally struggling to convert chances into multiple-goal victories.
Last results DR Congo
DR Congo’s recent sequence comprises 3 wins and 2 defeats in their last five matches across competitions. This form reveals a team capable of securing victories but also susceptible to setbacks. Their most recent result was a 1:0 win over Sudan, demonstrating that the side can achieve narrow, pragmatic victories — an approach that may be repeated in an away fixture against an organised Cameroonian unit.

Conclusion
This fixture projects as a tightly contested and tactically disciplined encounter in which Cameroon enters as the favourites, driven largely by superior home form, a compact defensive record, and favourable head-to-head history. DR Congo remains a credible opponent with a higher points tally in the group and the ability to secure results away from home, but their occasional inconsistencies and the anticipated tactical caution of both teams point toward a low-scoring match. The preview’s primary recommendation is an Under 2.5 Goals, with secondary pick being the Double Chance Cameroon victory/Draw, and a complementary selection that both teams will not score (No).
