Congo DR vs. Zambia

Congo DR, having faded from the limelight in recent years, enters this year’s tournament with hopes of clinching the AFCON title, a feat they haven’t achieved in five decades.

The Leopards secured two continental titles in their illustrious history, with the most recent triumph dating back to 1974 when they were known as Zaire. Their earlier victory was in 1968. However, in more recent times, Congo DR has faced challenges on the continental stage, experiencing three group-stage exits since 2000 and missing qualification for three consecutive Africa Cup of Nations tournaments between 2008 and 2012.

What to remember – Congo DR vs. Zambia

As Morocco is strongly favored to lead Group F, the competition for the second automatic qualification spot is anticipated between Congo DR and Zambia. Securing a result in this encounter becomes crucial. Zambia enters the match with superior form, boasting greater firepower in attack, and we anticipate them to secure a victory, albeit by a narrow margin.
