Togo vs RDC: Must-win clash for the Leopards

The Democratic Republic of Congo travels to Lomé this Friday to take on Togo in the 9th round of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. The Leopards cannot afford any more slip-ups if they want to keep their hopes alive for a historic qualification.

Togo: Too many draws, hopes dashed

The Sparrowhawks have been plagued by draws throughout this campaign (4 in 8 matches) and are now out of the running for the World Cup. Despite a strong home record (3 wins in their last 5 games), the Togolese have struggled to convert their chances.

RDC on a mission

Sébastien Desabre’s Leopards are in fine form: 4 wins in their last 5 away games, with a total of 10 goals scored. Sitting second in the group with 16 points, they remain just two points behind the leaders. A victory in Lomé would keep them in contention heading into the final matchday.
