Following a 3-0 win over Botswana, Senegal aim to cement top position in Group D. As D.R. Congo suit them, our prediction leans toward a 2-1 home win. The Lions of Teranga faced no difficulties in the triumph over Botswana, with Bayern Munich forward Nicolas Jackson scoring a brace. As Senegal have been scoring 2.80 goals per game of late, Home Team Over 1.5 bet should definitely be considered. The good news for the nominal hosts is that West Ham defender Malick Diouf is back from suspension.
The Leopards, on the other hand, did well to beat Benin 1-0 in the opening match of their 2025 AFCON campaign. D.R. Congo are on a six-game winning run in all competitions, but they will have a mountain to climb in Saturday’s clash. With the team suffering a loss in 6 of the previous 8 meetings with Senegal, away win should not be considered. Midfielder Mario Stroeykens should be the only absentees in the away team.
Given Senegal’s impressive start and positive H2H record, Home Win is our main betting pick for this matchup, with additional value on Nicolas Jackson to Score and Over 1.5 goals.
This Africa Cup of Nations 2025 match will be played on Saturday 27 December 2025 at 15:00.
