Recent Form

TP Mazembe collected 3 wins and 2 losses in their last five matches, with no draws. The sequence reads W-W-W-L-L. This suggests the home side's matches tend to break one way or the other: not a single one of the five ended level. When the team won and when it lost, the result was clear. That makes TP Mazembe both effective and volatile.

Club Africain's last five matches, in the sequence L-D-W-D-W, brought 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss. They picked up points in four of five matches and came away empty-handed only once. The high number of draws points to a visiting side that is hard to beat and plays with caution. Comparing the two, TP Mazembe's results sit at the extremes, while Club Africain's are more stable.

Goal Expectation and Key Stats

TP Mazembe score 1.8 goals per match and concede 1.0, with an average of 2.8 total goals in their matches. Club Africain score 1.0 and concede 0.8 per match, with 1.8 total goals on average in theirs. The one-goal gap shows how differently the two sides approach tempo. The home side plays open matches, while the visitors play closed ones.

The Over tendency sharpens this contrast. In TP Mazembe's matches, the Over rates across different goal levels stay flat at around 60%. In other words, the home side's matches are either high-scoring or very low-scoring, with few finishing in the middle. For Club Africain, Over rates start at 40% and fall to 20% at the highest goal level. In the visitors' matches, the probability drops noticeably as the goal count rises.

On both teams scoring, the sides meet at the same point: 40% in each team's matches. Matches in which both teams find the net happen in fewer than half of their games. This suggests the chance of one side staying quiet on the scoreboard should not be underestimated.

Cross-checking attack and defence gives the following picture: TP Mazembe's 1.8 goals per match meet a Club Africain defence that concedes 0.8. Club Africain's 1.0 output matches the 1.0 that TP Mazembe concede. So the attack-defence balance gives the home side a slight edge, though the gap is not large. The midpoint of the two total-goal averages (2.8 and 1.8) is around 2.3, which suggests neither a goal-fest nor a completely closed game.

In light of these numbers, the Over potential tag reads weak/risky. The main reason is that the two goal profiles offset each other: one side plays open, the other controlled.

iTahmin Verdict

According to the data, TP Mazembe look a step ahead thanks to their attacking average and home advantage. However, the swings in their results make it hard for that edge to turn into a comfortable superiority. Club Africain, with a hard-to-beat record and a low goals-conceded average, have a profile that can compete for points here.

In terms of goal expectation, a moderate tempo stands out. Low both-teams-to-score rates and a weak/risky Over potential reading weaken the case for a high-scoring match. Still, TP Mazembe's tendency toward extreme results keeps a surprise scenario open. For more match analyses, visit our predictions page, and to check league tables, see our standings page.
