DR Congo will be at home in their chase for an Africa Cup of Nations slot this Thursday. They play host to Sierra Leone in Group E of the qualifiers. Having won both opening matches and playing at home, our prediction will easily back DR Congo.
The hosts have been on a solid run in recent months, even securing a return to the World Cup. They beat Equatorial Guinea 2-0 at the start of the qualifiers before seeing off Zimbabwe 2-1 on matchday two.
In competitive matches these nations have met two times, and DR Congo won on both occasions. Their latest home match was a friendly game against Uganda, which they lost 2-0, but they’ve won four of their last five competitive home games, only losing to Senegal in the process.
Sierra Leone will go into matchday three bottom of the standings in this group. They haven’t won a point so far and will hope for the unlikeliest of victories to kickstart their campaign.
The visitors haven’t been so poor in their opening matches, though, as they have only lost by one-goal margins. They opened their campaign with a 3-2 home loss against Zimbabwe before losing 1-0 in Equatorial Guinea.
The Leone Stars are now winless in three straight matches. Their only wins in 17 away matches were against some of the world’s lowest-ranking teams, Djibouti and Somalia, losing seven.

Our DR Congo vs Sierra Leone Prediction
Sierra Leone have their backs against the wall, and heading to Kinshasa for what they feel is a ‘must-win’ game will not favor them a lot. The Stade des Martyrs is a fortress. Only Senegal have won there in the last five matches that DR Congo hosted.
Four of those matches produced clean sheets, and given they already dominated past meetings, DR Congo will be very confident. Our prediction for DR Congo v Sierra Leone is for DR Congo to win + a clean sheet.
