Prediction: DR Congo vs Equatorial Guinea – The Leopards aiming to start the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations on a high

The Leopards return to business as usual after their historic run at the 2026 World Cup. They want to kick off these qualifiers in style.

Less than 48 hours before kick-off, one key element remains unknown: the exact line-ups have not yet been revealed.

This match looks set to be tight. DR Congo go in as favourites but will need to be wary of the Nzalang Nacional.
