Senegal and DR Congo are set for a pivotal Group D Africa Cup of Nations clash at the Stade Ibn-Batouta in Tangier, with both sides eyeing early knockout qualification.
Senegal opened their campaign with a convincing 3-0 victory over Botswana, powered by Nicolas Jackson’s brace, asserting their credentials as tournament favourites and reinforcing their strong form in continental football.
The Lions of Teranga have a deep, balanced squad and will be keen to maintain momentum against a confident Congolese outfit. DR Congo arrive in Morocco on the back of a narrow 1-0 win over Benin, showing resilience and tactical discipline under coach Sebastien Desabre.
Despite opting to rest key forward Yoane Wissa to manage fitness for upcoming World Cup qualifiers, the Leopards have solid spine and will look to frustrate Senegal with organized defending and quick transitions. Their opening victory has put them in a strong position in Group D ahead of this Saturday’s meeting.
