If you’re searching for a reliable Cameroon vs Congo DR prediction for the World Cup - Qualification Africa playoff semi-final, you’ve come to the right place. On November 13, 2025, at 19:00 GMT, Cameroon and Congo DR will face off at the Al-Barid Stadium in Rabat, Morocco, with a spot in the playoff final—and potentially the 2026 FIFA World Cup—on the line. Let’s break down the teams, tactics, head to head history, and the latest betting odds to help you make the smartest sports betting choices.
This isn’t just another qualifier. Both Cameroon and Congo DR made it here as the best second-placed teams in their respective groups—Cameroon from Group D, and Congo DR from Group B, just behind Senegal. The winner of this match advances to the playoff final on November 16, with the ultimate prize being a ticket to the inter-confederation playoffs in March 2026. The stakes couldn’t be higher, and both teams know it.
Let’s start with the basics: Cameroon, often called the Indomitable Lions, have a squad valued at a whopping €249.50m, more than double Congo DR’s €110.70m. Historically, Cameroon have dominated this fixture. Out of 14 meetings since 2006, Cameroon have won 8, drawn 5, and Congo DR have managed just a single victory. That’s a pretty clear head to head advantage.
On the other side, Congo DR—known as Les Léopards—are no strangers to adversity. Defender Rocky Bushiri has spoken about the team’s calm approach and the importance of enjoying the moment, especially after their narrow miss for automatic qualification (they let a 2-0 lead slip to lose 3-2 against Senegal). Congo DR’s squad is a mix of domestic talent, with many players from clubs like TP Mazembe and FC Lupopo, and they’ve won three away games in the qualifiers, showing they can perform on neutral ground.
Now, let’s get into the numbers and our Cameroon vs Congo DR prediction for sports betting fans. The latest betting odds from top bookmakers are:
Our AI at NerdyTips has crunched the stats, and here’s what stands out:
If you’re looking for the best sports betting angle, the under 2.5 goals market is the safest play, given both teams’ recent defensive records and the high-pressure nature of this playoff. Cameroon’s head to head dominance and higher squad value make them favorites, but Congo DR have shown they can punch above their weight, especially away from home.
In summary, our Cameroon vs Congo DR prediction is a narrow 1-0 win for Cameroon, with the best betting odds on under 2.5 goals. Expect a tense, tactical battle where one moment of quality could decide who moves one step closer to the 2026 World Cup.
