Gambia is confident after dominating their 1-1 tie in their Africa Cup of Nations qualifier. Clement Couturier’s first-half goal was answered by Yankuba Minteh’s seventh-minute stoppage-time equalizer. Gambia’s scoring in her first five matches under Johnny McKinstry, despite stadium difficulties forcing them to play at a neutral location, is a significant achievement and a testament to their resilience.
Madagascar, despite finishing last, is a team that is showing significant improvement. They generally lose late but are now under the guidance of Romuald Rakotondrabe, who is leading them towards a brighter future. Both clubs will likely score in this encounter given their previous record and scoring habits.
