Betting Sites Running Scared of DR Congo Victory

Congo are convincing -286 favourites to land the spoils in this World Cup qualifying encounter, which means a 74% likelihood of securing a victory according to the current betting odds. If you want to wager on the underdog, South Sudan have been priced up at +800.

Some insurance is provided if you back DR Congo Asian Handicap -1.25 at -122. If they only beat South Sudan by a goal, you get half your stake back. A bigger margin of victory and it’s a full payout.

If you’re anticipating that two goals or less will be netted throughout the contest, then Under 2.5 Goals is a definite runner. The Both Teams to Score No bet is -227 and it’s ideal if you think at least one side will not score during the ninety minutes.
