They began their campaign with a notable 1–1 draw against Portugal, earning their first-ever World Cup point in the process.
However, their disciplined defence could not hold in the second game, where they suffered a narrow 1–0 loss to Colombia. After failing to secure a win in their pre-tournament friendlies, DR Congo is still searching for their first victory of the competition.DR Congo team newsThere are no injury concerns or suspensions for DR Congo heading into this important fixture, leaving them with a fully available squad.
Head coach Sébastien Desabre has confirmed a significant change in approach for this final group-stage match.Having previously relied on a cautious five-man defensive setup against stronger opponents like Portugal and Colombia, Desabre is now set to move away from that strategy.With qualification on the line, DR Congo will adopt a more attacking 4-3-3 formation, aiming to take control of the game from the outset.
