DR Congo vs Equatorial Guinea Prediction 24 September 2026
🔊 This summer, DR Congo appeared at the World Cup for the first time in 52 years and reached the Round of 32. However, there will most likely be nobody to welcome them home in Kinshasa. The match is expected to be played without supporters: the Stade des Martyrs has only been granted partial use during its reconstruction. Their opponents have their own changes to deal with - Equatorial Guinea changed their manager a month before the start of the tournament.
Head-to-Head
DR Congo and Equatorial Guinea have met each other just once. That match ended in a goalless draw.
Head-to-head statistics DR Congo - Equatorial Guinea
DR Congo Team Overview
Sébastien Desabre has been in charge of the national team since 2022, and the summer represented the high point of his tenure. Congo qualified for the World Cup through the African and intercontinental play-offs, then advanced from a group containing Portugal, Colombia and Uzbekistan. In the Round of 32, they lost to England 1-2, despite taking the lead as early as the seventh minute. World Cup participants Mbemba, Van-Bissaka, Wissa and Mayele have been called up for the qualifying campaign. Congo have not been big scorers, though: they have failed to score more than two goals in 12 of their last 14 matches.
Match Results: DR Congo
Equatorial Guinea Team Overview
Equatorial Guinea are beginning their qualifying campaign under a new manager. The federation chose not to renew Juan Micha's contract, despite him having led the side to three consecutive Africa Cup of Nations appearances. At the end of August, Italian coach Vincenzo Alberto Annese took charge - he previously managed the national teams of Belize, Nepal and Afghanistan. He inherits a difficult run of form: Equatorial Guinea have gone six matches without a win.

Risky Bet
DR Congo Team Total - Over 2 is an option for those expecting the hosts to run riot. There is some basis for it: Congo have scored in 12 consecutive home matches. The visitors tend to struggle in second halves: Equatorial Guinea have conceded in nine consecutive away matches after the break in AFCON qualifying. The risk is that big scores are not typical for Congo - in most of their recent matches they have not scored more than two goals. The bet is DR Congo Team Total - Over 2.
