Kick-off: December 27, 2025, at 17:00.

In the second round of the Africa Cup of Nations at the Ibn Battuta Stadium in Tangier, the Senegal — DR Congo match will take place. Both teams successfully cleared the opening hurdle in Group D, collecting three points each: Senegal thrashed Botswana 3-0, while DR Congo edged past Benin with a narrow 1-0 victory. The history of head-to-head meetings between the teams at the tournament includes two matches, in which the opponents have exchanged wins.

Senegal, under the guidance of Pape Thiaw, is confirming its status as the reigning tournament favorite. In the opening round, it demonstrated overwhelming dominance, registering nearly thirty shots on the opponent’s goal, while Nicolas Jackson scored twice. During the qualification campaign, it produced phenomenal defensive performances, conceding only one goal throughout the entire cycle. The attacking leaders, Sadio Mané and Habib Diarra, are in excellent condition, which makes Senegal an extremely dangerous opponent.

DR Congo, led by Sébastien Desabre, is displaying pragmatic and efficient soccer. In the opening match against Benin, it made the most of its opportunity and played very reliably at the back. The statistics from its last eight matches are impressive: it recorded seven wins, with the only defeat during this period coming precisely against Senegal in the FIFA World Cup qualifiers. It is eager for revenge, relying on the scoring ability of Meschack Elia and the experience of Cédric Bakambu.
