Gambia vs Gabon Prediction & Betting Tips (10 October)

The Gambia, even though it was 3rd early in the morning in this group F, has already found itself eliminated, falling far behind the first two places, occupied by Ivory Coast and Gabon. And yet, in September, the Gambians did the job by winning against Kenya on the road 1-3 and at home against Burundi 2-0. Finally, Gambia was only inferior against the two big names in the group with two defeats against Gabon in the first leg 3-2 and the smallest score in Ivory Coast 1-0. Runner-up to the Ivory Coast, Gabon is still in the running to compete for the head of the table and thus access the World Cup without having to go through the play-offs.

Indeed, there is only one point to make up but in September, during the last rally, the Gabonese missed a golden chance to pass the Elephants by conceding a draw at home in a direct opposition with the latter 0-0. A few days earlier, Gabon had logically extinguished the Seychelles 0-4. 

No longer selected since last March, Messin Ablie Jallow (38 caps, 8 goals) is still not in the group. Ditto for Ebrima Darboe (Frosinone, 19 capes). Present at the September gathering, Abdoulie Sanyang (21 caps), Adama Bojang (Reims) and defender Sheriff Sinyan (11 caps) were not renewed. Author of 4 goals plus 4 assists in these qualifiers Musa Barrow (50 caps, 12 goals) is well in the game like Minteh (Brighton, 17 caps, 6 goals) and Ali Sowe (Rizespor).

 Among the Gabon Panthers, the top scorer of this qualifying campaign (CAN zone), Bouanga (8 goals) will be there supported by Gabonese football legend Pierre Emerick Aubameyang (OM, 76 goals, 34 goals). In the middle, we find the precious Mario (Galatasaray) and Noah Lemina (Yverdon). Note, however, the absence due to injury of Angevin winger Jim Allevinah.
