DR Congo and Guinea will face off in their opening match of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers at Stade des Martyrs de la Pentecote on Friday evening. The Leopards and the National Elephants are drawn alongisde Ethiopia and Tanzania in Group H of this competition. Here’s our match prediction.
DR Congo were one of the surprise packages of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations as they battled their way to a top-four finish, only narrowly beaten by South Africa in the third-place playoff.
Since then, the Leopards played two CAF World Cup qualifiers in June and drew 1-1 with Senegal before beating Togo 1-0 a few days later to move into third place in their group, three points behind leaders Sudan.
The hosts have a very good home record coming into this match, suffering defeat only once in their last 10 matches on home soil while winning five and drawing four of the remaining nine.
Meanwhile, Guinea also had an impressive AFCON campaign at the start of the year, reaching the quarter-final before they were knocked out by none other than their upcoming opponent.
The National Elephants played and won two friendlies with relative ease against Vanuatu and Bermuda in March before a victory over Algeria and a loss to Mozambique in World Cup qualifying at the start of June.
However, Guinea’s away form has been unimpressive, with only two wins earned in their last 10 outings in all competitions.
