Match Preview
The upcoming match between Gabon and Democratic Republic of Congo, DRC, holds much anticipation as both teams look to outperform each other. Gabon will be playing true to home ground advantage as they play at the Stade d'Angondjé against DRC, who will come into the game as underdogs. I predict that the Gabonese will emerge victorious after the full-time whistle, given their above-average performance at home grounds, their team's current form, and the firepower in their lineup.

Gabon will come into this fixture looking to solidify their spot at the top of their group and secure a place in the next round of the tournament. With home ground advantage, the Gabonese possess a high possibility of scoring early on in the game, which could provide a psychological edge over DRC. Gabon's captain and striker, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, has been in remarkable form for Arsenal FC this season, making him a formidable force for any opposing team. I believe that he will undoubtedly want to get on the score-sheet, and the home crowd advantage could prove crucial to Aubameyang and his team's aspirations.

Although DRC has not had an easy start to the competition, they cannot be written off. They are a team made up of a combination of experienced and young talents, who could spring surprises on any given day. I expect DRC to come into this fixture well organized and disciplined, putting up a stern defense and attacking through counter-attacks. However, their absence of significant goal-scoring talent could be their undoing in this fixture.

Goaloo18 Prediction
I predict that Gabon will edge out DRC with a score-line of 2-0 or 3-1, securing their second win of the tournament, thus placing them in the driving seat for knockout stage qualification.
