Madagascar vs Central African Republic Prediction and Betting Tips | 4th September 2025

Madagascar and Central African Republic lock horns at the Larbi Zaouli Stadium in neutral Morocco on Thursday for a clash in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers. Ranked 115th in the world, the Barea are currently in third position in Group I with three wins and 10 points from six games.

Their soaring momentum came to a shuddering halt in the last qualifier when Ghana inflicted a 3-0 loss upon them. Thomas Partey netted a brace, whereas Mohammed Kudus added a third goal as the Black Stars inched closer to the World Cup.

Madagascar are five points off the top and two behind second-placed Comoros with only four games remaining in the round. It looks challenging for the island side, but there's a slim hope for them still.

Central African Republic are a further five points off Madagascar, languishing in fifth with only five points in the bag from six games. Their only win so far has been against bottom-dwellers Chad, as the Wild Beasts secured a narrow 1-0 victory on matchday three.

Since then, their next three qualifying fixtures have yielded just a single point as the side drew 0-0 with Mali in March this year. Unless Rigobert Song's team win all their remaining matches, it's difficult to see them progress beyond this round.
