Group B Table Before the Last Game
Group B has three teams: DR Congo, Gabon and Congo. Gabon have finished their two games with two draws. DR Congo and Congo have one game left each, and it is against each other.
| Team | Played | Result so far | Points |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gabon | 2 | 0-0 with DR Congo, 1-1 with Congo | 2 |
| DR Congo | 1 | 0-0 with Gabon | 1 |
| Congo | 1 | 1-1 with Gabon | 1 |
The maths is simple. A win on 18 October gives a team four points, which is more than Gabon can reach. A draw would put all three teams on two points, and then the tie-break rules would decide the group. We could not confirm those rules, so check the official tournament regulations.

KlinPredict DR Congo U20 vs Congo U20 Betting Tips
Here are the DR Congo U20 vs Congo U20 betting tips from KlinPredict. We do not have odds for this match, so check the latest prices at your bookmaker before you bet.
| Market | KlinPredict tip | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Goals | Under 3.5 goals | None of the last five meetings had more than three goals, and both teams drew their opening group games. |
| Double chance | DR Congo or draw (1X) | DR Congo are the defending champions and beat Congo in the 2024 final. They are also unbeaten here, and a draw is a fair result for both. |
| Both teams to score | Yes (lower confidence) | Both teams scored in three of the last five meetings, but DR Congo did not score against Gabon. |
Our prediction is a tight game with few goals. We do not pick a clear winner, because Congo have won three of the last five meetings and both teams need the result. Group games with a place in the semi-finals at stake can also be cautious. For more goal-based picks, see our over 2.5 goals predictions.
