DR Congo have demonstrated a solid defensive performance in the qualification round, conceding only 3 goals in 7 matches. At home, the team looks especially organized in defense, not conceding a single goal in 3 games.
Senegal also has a high defensive discipline, conceding only 1 goal in 7 qualifying games. Despite having stars in attack, the team prefers to act pragmatically in away matches, relying on the reliability of the rear (in 3 matches, Senegal did not concede a single goal, but scored only one).
The face-to-face meeting in June ended in a 1:1 draw, which confirms the tactical balance of the teams. Given the defensive approach of both opponents and their fight for important points, the match will certainly be tense with a limited number of goals.
