Central African Republic Overview

The Central African Republic is currently looking to build on recent performances that have shown signs of improvement. They have a record of 2 wins, 3 draws, and 5 losses in their last 10 matches. This places them in a challenging position within their group as they strive for qualification. Offensively, CAR has struggled to find the back of the net consistently, averaging just 1 goal per game in their last outings.
