Central African Republic will entertain Comoros at Stade d'Honneur in FIFA World Cup qualification on Sunday. This appears to be the affair of the visitors.
Central African Republic vs Comoros Preview
Central African Republic succumbed to a 2-0 defeat in an away fixture against Madagascar on Thursday, September 4. That result sealed their fate in Group I, as they sit in the fifth spot on 5 points and are eliminated from the qualifying race. Ghana are leading the group on 16 points, followed by Madagascar on 13.
Les Fauves have nothing at stake, as they did not qualify for the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations, which could have been a motivation. Perhaps, it is time to start planning a complete rebuild of the outfit. Playing as hosts in Morocco will save them from the ire of local fans, but not from the uncertainties surrounding the future of the team.
Comoros suffered a 3-0 humiliation at the hands of Mali in the previous matchday. Comoros had planned to take their revenge after falling at home to the same Mali 3-0 in the reverse fixture. However, they were unable to produce the quality performance needed to achieve that result, thus losing 6-0 on aggregate to Mali.
Les Coelacantes would have been able to leap to the second spot in Group I had they clinched maximum points on September 4. However, they remain in the running, as they sit third, tied with Mali on 12 points. Comoros would maintain their close distance to the top if they claim full points over Central African Republic.
