Congo DR vs Equatorial Guinea Prediction

Sebastian Desabre’s Congo DR were impressive at FIFA World Cup 2026 and came close to knocking out eventual semi-finalists England in the round of 32. La Celeste have some new quality in their squad, too, such as Willy Kambwala, Ezechiel Banzuzi, Stanis Idumbo, Paris Maghoma, Stephy Mavididi, Noah Mbamba and Afimico Pululu.

Equatorial Guinea come into this one on the back of having most recently succumbed to a 1-0 defeat to Comoros in June. The Equatorial Guineans have declined in recent years and they have now won just one of their last seven matches.

Congo DR are emerging as an even stronger force than they already were in African international football and they should come out on top here.
