Match preview

DR Congo host Equatorial Guinea on 24 September 2026 at 19:00 in Group E of Africa Cup of Nations qualifying at Stade des Martyrs in Kinshasa. The hosts open their campaign against visitors in freefall. Equatorial Guinea have won one of their last six matches, drawn once, and lost four. They have scored three goals in five games and lost their last three competitive fixtures. DR Congo, by contrast, avoided defeat in six of their last ten across all competitions, including three wins. The Congolese competed at the World Cup this summer, taking points off Portugal before losing to England in the playoffs.

Form and H2H

DR Congo average 1.07 goals for and 0.76 against at home over their last ten matches, with three wins, four draws, and three losses. Equatorial Guinea average 0.62 goals for and 1.20 against away, posting two wins, two draws, and six losses in the same span. The teams drew 0-0 when they last met in February 2015. DR Congo have avoided defeat in two of their previous three head-to-head meetings.

Best Bet

Total under 2.5 goals. Equatorial Guinea's attacking drought and defensive fragility away from home, combined with DR Congo's modest scoring rate at home, points to a low-scoring contest. Equatorial Guinea have failed to score in multiple recent matches and rarely create chances. Back under 2.5 at 1xBet 1.28, Mostbet 1.25, or 22Bet 1.28.

Odds to Watch

DR Congo's home advantage and superior form make them the clear favourite. A home win trades at Melbet 1.27, 1xBet 1.28, Mostbet 1.25, and 22Bet 1.28.
