Barea from Madagascar in a takeable group

The Barea of Madagascar will play in Group J

"On the way to Qatar 2022 », The Barea of Madagascar in a takeable group. The words are by Faneva Andriantsalama, the former captain of the national football team. Like all round ball buffs, this Malagasy international can estimate that the opponents of the Barea in the group stage of the qualifiers for the next World Cup are takeable.

In Group J

The dice are therefore thrown. Madagascar to play in Group J, for the second round of World Cup qualifiers 2022. A group that will also include the Democratic Republic of Congo, Benin and Tanzania. "A tight and homogeneous hen", judge the malagasy breeder, Mr Nicolas DUPUIS, who was present at Tuesday night's draw, at the Nile Ritz Carlton Hotel in Cairo (Egypt).

Madagascar placed in the 3^th Hat, a favourable position

Being ranked 21st in Africa, and ranks ninety-first in the world according to the FIFA rankings, thanks in particular to the performances during the last edition of the CAN, Madagascar found itself at the head of the third hat of ten nations in the draw. A position that experts in the field have deemed favorable, car, this allows the Malagasy national team not to find the other big teams.

The Barea of ​​Madagascar find the Leopards of the DRC

Certainly, the DRC is a great footballing nation, but the Barea of ​​Madagascar have already eliminated the Leopards of the DRC in the round of 16 of the CAN. The newspaper of the Congolese national football team headlines : « Madagascar still on the way to the DRC ».

Visibly, the Leopards still had trouble digesting their defeat against the little "thumb" of this continental summit in 2019. And they are right to doubt a new confrontation with this Malagasy national team which never ceases to surprise on the ground.

But obviously, the Congolese or the Tanzanians are by far the team to be wary of for the Malagasy team as part of this group stage of the World Cup 2020. Indeed, there is especially the Beninese national team. Like the Barea of ​​Madagascar, the Squirrels of Benin surprised more than one during the CAN 2019, by eliminating Morocco in the round of 16. If the Malagasys were dismissed by the Tunisians in the quarter-finals, the Beninese were eliminated by the Senegalese of Sadio Mané.

Madagascar and Benin

The last meeting between Madagascar and Benin, as part of the World Cup qualifiers goes back to 2006. In the first leg, the two teams separated with a score of one goal everywhere at the Mahamasina stadium. In the return match which was played in Benin, the Squirrels won 3 goals to be 2 thus eliminating the Barea of ​​Madagascar. But obviously, nothing is decided yet in football.

In preparation for

Football is about preparation and lucidity on the pitch as well as insight and performance. And the Malagasy national team will have plenty of time to prepare since the first meetings of this group phase will begin in October, following CAN reprogramming 2021 in January-February. By the way, the Barea coach, Mr Nicolas DUPUIS, provides his analysis on the World Cup qualifying draw 2022. He recalls that the Barea must focus on the CAN 2021.

After the third round of the group stage in November 2021, the ten winners 10 groups will play five confrontations in home and away matches which will make it possible to know the 5 teams that will represent Africa at the Qatar World Cup in 2020. A chance, The Barea of Madagascar in a takeable group.
