Summary
The second game of the 2026 AFCON Qualifiers will see the World Cup surprise package DR Congo clash with Equatorial Guinea at the Stade des Martyrs de la Pentecôte. Both teams have faced each other thrice so far in history, with DR Congo leading the race in the head-to-head record.
The DR Congo national football team had a dreamy run in the group stages of the FIFA World Cup 2026, where they held Portugal to a 1-1 draw and beat Uzbekistan to register their first three points of the tournament.
They made it to the Round of 32 by being one of the best eight third-placed teams, and were on the verge of a historic win before Harry Kane turned the tide around in the dying minutes of the game for the England national football team.
Neverthless, their grit and courage were commendable, for the way they put themselves out there against the big guns. The Leopards turn their attention to the AFCON qualifiers now, as they look to qualify once again after putting up a decent finish last time where they were knocked out by Algeria national football team in the Round of 16.
On the other hand, the Equatorial Guinea national football team have started to look good after years of hard work. They have now qualified for the main event for three editions in a row. Equatorial Guinea finished second in their qualifier group the last time, but lost all their group stage matches of the main event, thus facing elimination.
However, recent form hasn't been on the side of Vincenzo Annese’s men, who are winless in six of their last eight games across all competitions. Their only win from the last five games was against Kyrgyzstan, while their latest outing ended in a 1-0 defeat to Comoros.
The head-to-head record between the two teams highlights an important fact: the very last game between these sides ended in a win for DR Congo in a penalty shootout of the 3rd-place match of 2015 AFCON.
Equatorial Guinea would be desperate to take revenge, but DR Congo seem to have the upper hand as of now.
