High-flying Algeria aim to keep their 100% record at the 2025 AFCON intact. As DR Congo suit The Desert Warriors, our prediction leans toward a 2-1 home win. Vladimir Petkovic is doing a great job with the Algeria national team, with his men beating the likes of Sudan, Burkina Faso, and Equatorial Guinea to win Group E. Algeria have been scoring 2.33 goals per game at the showpiece tournament in Morocco and despite Houssem Aouar’s injury, they are seen as favourites to win the last 16 clash. Man City ace Rayan Ait-Nouri should recover in time to face DR Congo.
The Leopards, on the other hand, set up a meeting with Algeria by beating Botswana 3-0 in their last group game. D.R. Congo, though, have yet to defeat the Riyad Mahrez and Co. in a competitive match, meaning that the nominal visitors are under huge pressure ahead of the Stade Prince Moulay Hassan showdown. However, their average expected goals of 2.15 at 2025 AFCON is giving fans a reason for optimism. Anderlecht midfielder Mario Stroeykens should be the only absentee in the visiting team.
Algeria are undefeated in the previous five encounter with D.R. Congo and despite dealing with some injury worries, Home Win should be considered. Additionally, BTTS and Over 2.5 goals markets seem interesting as the Leopards look sharp up front.
This Africa Cup of Nations 2025 match will be played on Tuesday 6 January 2026 at 16:00.
