TP Mazembe vs Club Africain 17.10.2026: Prediction, Betting Tips and Match Preview

The upcoming clash between TP Mazembe and Club Africain promises to be a tightly contested affair, with the hosts carrying an impressive unbeaten streak of five matches into this fixture. While the visitors stumbled in their most recent outing, they have still managed to secure three victories in that same span, meaning their form is far from a simple losing run. A closer look at recent results, however, tilts the balance in favor of TP Mazembe, who boast superior consistency and a higher number of wins.

Tactical Analysis: TP Mazembe

TP Mazembe have been in formidable shape, winning four of their last five matches and drawing the other. Over that stretch, they have found the net ten times while conceding just three—a clear sign of both attacking potency and defensive solidity. Their latest outing saw them dispatch Medeama 3-1, following a hard-fought 1-0 away victory. Sandwiched between those results was a 1-1 stalemate with Power Dynamos, showing that the team can not only win but also grind out results when needed. At home, their recent record is particularly strong: they beat Medeama 3-1 and CF Velešta 2-0 in their last two home games. This home form stands in stark contrast to the visitors’ away struggles. Based on recent performances, TP Mazembe arrive with a more stable rhythm and a consistent ability to score.

Tactical Analysis: Club Africain

Club Africain have won three of their last five matches, drawn one, and lost one. They have scored six goals and conceded four in that period. This recent run is less impressive than that of their opponents. In their last match, they fell 1-2 to Ben Guerdane despite registering 12 shots, seven of which were on target. The opposition managed only six shots and three on target but still scored twice. Prior to that, Club Africain edged Zarzis 1-0 and played out a 2-2 draw with Jolyba. On the road, their form is worrying: they drew with Jolyba and lost to Ben Guerdane in their last two away games, conceding a total of four goals. At home, they recorded 1-0 wins over Hammam Sousse and Jolyba, but the attacking output in those games varied significantly—only two shots against Hammam Sousse versus seven against Jolyba. This suggests that their recent victories have not been built on consistently high attacking intensity, and their away performances lag behind their home displays.

Statistics and Trends

Over the last five matches, TP Mazembe have scored ten goals and conceded three, while Club Africain have managed six goals and four conceded. The hosts have found the net in every one of those five games, whereas the visitors have scored in four of five. TP Mazembe have won four of those matches, compared to Club Africain’s three, and the visitors’ most recent game ended in defeat. In their last two away fixtures, Club Africain have conceded four goals and failed to win, while TP Mazembe have won both of their last two home matches. Historical head-to-head results include an 8-0 thrashing by TP Mazembe and a 0-0 draw, but these are distant memories. Current form offers a clearer picture, and it strongly favors the home side.

Prediction and Bet

TP Mazembe enter this match on the back of four wins and a draw in their last five games, scoring five goals in their two most recent home outings. Club Africain have won three of their last five but lost the most recent and have not won either of their last two away matches. The visitors have shown they can create shots on target, but that did not prevent defeat against Ben Guerdane. The hosts are more consistent in terms of results and make better use of home advantage. This assessment is reinforced by TP Mazembe’s unbeaten run, two home victories, and Club Africain’s poor away record. Our prediction is a win for TP Mazembe at odds of 1.70.
