HTH - Senegal on Top


Senegal have a dominant 6-1 advantage against DR Congo alongside one draw.

They last met in a World Cup qualifier in September, Senegal winning 3-2 in Kinshasa.

Senegal Make a Winning Start at AFCON


Senegal qualified for the World Cup in style, going unbeaten in 10 matches. They scored 22 goals and conceded only three to highlight their strength in defence.

The Lions of Teranga played two friendlies to prepare for AFCON, starting with a 2-0 defeat to Brazil. They thrashed Kenya 8-0 in Turkey, Sadio Mane hitting a hat-trick and Nicolas Jackson finding the net twice.

Pape Thiaw’s side brought that form to Morocco where they opened their campaign with a 3-0 victory over Botswana. Jackson scored twice before Cherif Ndiaye wrapped it up late on, ending the contest with 28-4 shots and 3.67-0.17 xG.
The manager was pleased with the victory but is already looking forward to the next game, saying: "The victory against Botswana was a statement, but our tournament really begins with the clash against the Leopards."

Senegal Predicted Line Up & Squad


Senegal (4-2-3-1) Edouard Mendy; Krepin Diatta, Kalidou Koulibaly, Moussa Niakhate, Ismail Jakobs; Idrissa Gueye, Lamine Camara; Ismaila Sarr, Iliman Ndiaye, Sadio Mane; Nicolas Jackson

Habib Diarra is battling a groin injury and Ismaila Sarr has an ankle problem but expected to start.

Pape Thiaw addressed Sarr's condition, saying: "We are managing the load for players like Ismaila Sarr to ensure we have our full creative force ready for a physical battle."

Congo Hard to Beat


DR Congo had a solid World Cup qualifying campaign, finishing second in group B to reach the second round. Chancel Mbemba scored in added time to secure a 1-0 semi-final victory against Cameroon.

The Leopards outplayed Nigeria in the final but had to settle for a 1-1 draw. The crucial clash went to penalties where they prevailed in the shootout to qualify for the inter-confederation play-offs.

Sebastien Desabre’s side didn’t have it all their own way in their opening game at AFCON. Theo Bongond scored early which was enough to secure a 1-0 win against Benin, ending with 48% possession and 11-12 shots.
Desabre admitted the quality his side will face in their next match, saying: "Senegal are arguably the best team in Africa right now.

"Our win against Benin gives us confidence, but facing the Lions requires a different level of tactical discipline. We want to prove that our recent growth is not a fluke."

DR Congo Predicted Line Up & Squad


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

Nathanael Mbuku suffered a minor knock against Benin but should be ready to start.
