Rabat Redemption: Perfect Algeria Face Unbeaten DR Congo in Intriguing Last-16 Clash! ⚔️
Rabat's Stade Prince Moulay El Hassan stages a mouthwatering AFCON 2025 Round of 16 tie as flawless group winners Algeria take on unbeaten DR Congo. Vladimir Petkovic's Desert Warriors stormed Group E with three wins and just one goal conceded, marking them as title contenders. Sébastien Desabre's Leopards progressed second in Group D with two wins and a draw, showcasing defensive grit and counter threat. Both sides arrive unbeaten – but only one advances to face Nigeria in the quarters. History leans low-scoring and cagey; expect a tactical knockout classic.

Current Form – Warriors Flawless, Leopards Disciplined
Algeria
Perfect group: Wins over Sudan (3-0), Burkina Faso (1-0), Equatorial Guinea (3-1) – 7 goals scored, 1 conceded
Attack depth: Mahrez (3 goals), Maza/Amoura flair; Mandi/Bensebaini defensive wall
Doubts: Ait-Nouri flu, Hadjam injury – but squad strong
DR Congo
Unbeaten group: Wins over Benin/Botswana, draw vs Senegal – solid at both ends
Counter threat: Bakambu/Elia/Bongonda pace; Mbemba/Tuanzebe physicality
No major issues: Full strength for knockout push
Head-to-Head: Algeria Unbeaten in Recent AFCON Ties
Third AFCON meeting: Algeria unbeaten in previous two (1-0 1998, group stage). Overall recent: Tight, low-scoring (last 4 meetings all draws or Algeria wins under 2.5).
Tactical Breakdown: Control vs Counter Grit
Petkovic's Algeria dominate possession, patient build-up with Mahrez/Chaibi creativity for Amoura runs – exploit spaces vs physical Leopards. Desabre's DR Congo compact 4-2-3-1, absorb pressure, hit quick via Elia/Bakambu – knockout experience key but attack blunt vs top defenses.
The Killer Stat for Under 2.5 Goals
Last 4 H2Hs under 2.5; Algeria games low-output despite wins; DR Congo disciplined (conceded few).
Final Prediction
Algeria 2–0 DR Congo
Mahrez unlocks early, late Amoura seal – Algeria professional, Leopards frustrated.
Bookies favor Algeria quality but underrate low-scoring trend – unders/clean sheet value huge. Load on Sokabet.co.tz; Rabat knockout classic!
