Algeria are incredibly hard to beat and have won all three games at AFCON, scoring seven goals.

DR Congo deserve a lot of respect here, especially after holding Senegal to a draw, another stalemate expected after 90 minutes.

Key Stats - Little Separation


  • Algeria are undefeated in their last 19 matches.
  • Algeria have won 5 of their last 6 matches.
  • Algeria have drawn 4 of their last 5 matches against DR Congo.
  • DR Congo are undefeated in 9 of their last 10 matches.
  • DR Congo have won 6 of their last 8 matches.

HTH - Algeria Unbeaten


Algeria have met DR Congo six times and never lost, winning twice alongside four draws.

They last met in 2022, Algeria winning a friendly 3-0 with Redha Bensayah, Billel Benhamouda and Nadhir Benbouali finding the net.

Algeria 3-0 at AFCON


Algeria won all three group games at the Africa Cup of Nations, starting with a 3-0 win against Sudan. Riyad Mahrez scored the opening two goals in a man of the match performance.

Mahrez scored again in a 1-0 victory over Burkina Faso but it wasn’t as easy as their opener. The Desert Warriors ended with 2.00-1.02 xG in Rabat where they survived a late onslaught.

Vladimir Petkovic made many changes against Equatorial Guinea but it made little difference. Zineddine Belaid, Fares Chaibi and Ibrahim Maza scored in the opening 32 minutes as Algeria cruised to a 3-1 win.

Algeria Predicted Line Up & Team News


Algeria (4-2-3-1) Luca Zidane; Rafik Belghali, Aissa Mandi, Ramy Bensebaini, Rayan Ait-Nouri; Hicham Boudaoui, Ismael Bennacer; Riyad Mahrez, Ibrahim Maza, Fares Chaibi; Baghdad Bounedjah

Expect Luca Zidane to replace Anthony Mandrea in goal here. Jaouen Hadjam is out with Rayan Ait-Nouri to continue at left-back.

Fares Chaibi and Ibrahim Maza could both start in attack with Mohamed Amoura coming off the bench.

Congo Quiet Achievers at AFCON


DR Congo came to AFCON with confidence after staying alive in the World Cup qualifiers. Theo Bongonda scored early to secure a 1-0 victory over Benin, ultimately deserved after ending with 1.49-0.49 xG.

Cedric Bakambu gave Sebastien Desabre’s side the lead against Senegal. They ended the match strong, taking a 1-1 draw against one of the favourites to win the tournament.

The Leopards had to work hard against Benin in their opening game at AFCON. Theo Bongonda scored early which was enough for a 1-0 win, ending with 48% possession and 11-12 shots.

Gael Kakuta played a starring role in a 3-0 win over Botswana which secured second spot in Group D. The 34-year-old assisted Nathanael Mbuku before scoring twice as Congo ended with 28-6 shots and 4.02-0.27 xG.

DR Congo Predicted Line Up & Team News


DR Congo (4-2-3-1) Lionel Mpasi; Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Chancel Mbemba, Axel Tuanzebe, Arthur Masuaku; Samuel Moutoussamy, Noah Sadiki; Theo Bongonda, Gael Kakuta, Nathanael Mbuku; Cedric Bakambu

Gael Kakuta could be rewarded with a start following his dominant performance against Botswana.

Verdict

Algeria and DR Congo are unbeaten at the Africa Cup of Nations which should make this a close clash. I think the Leopards' defence can hold their own and take this one to extra time.
