PREDICTION

The Democratic Republic of Congo boast numerous attacking options, yet there is a noticeable lack of clarity and cohesion in their play. The team has faced challenges in scoring consistently, suggesting that their attack may be underperforming. Their upcoming match is against Zambia, a team with its own set of attacking options, although heavily reliant on Patson Daka. Under the management of Avram Grant, Zambia are expected to field a functional rather than fluent team. Consequently, a low-scoring opening match is anticipated.
