Forecast and recommended bets
Main forecast: -1 token in DR Congo. Currently, DR Congo is positioned as the clear favorite in this match, showing considerable dominance in player selection. They recently managed to eliminate Cameroon and Nigeria from World Cup qualification, and will surely look to prove themselves at the African Cup of Nations. Although the group stage is not the most complicated, a mistake could be fatal and the 'Leopards' can secure their three points without problems.
Recommendation: Bet on the -1 token for DR Congo at a fee of 2.29.
Secondary prognosis: Less than 2.5 goals. Although DR Congo will look for a strong start in their group, they are not expected to go on an aggressive offensive from the start, given that Benin has the ability to play defensively. In a match of this type, the error rate is too high, and a cautious approach will be paramount.
Recommendation: Bet on less than 2.5 goals at a fee of 1.61.
Bet on corners: DR Congo will dominate the match and, therefore, it is highly likely that they will get more corner kicks in their favor. The bet would be on -2 chip for DR Congo in corners at a fee of 1.89.
