The Possible Lineup of the DR Congo to Face Colombia in the 2026 FIFA World Cup
DR Congo arrives with confidence after drawing against Portugal and dreams of advancing to the knockout stage for the first time.
DR Congo prepares for its second match
The Democratic Republic of the Congo faces its second match in the FIFA World Cup 2026 with their hopes intact. The 1-1 draw against Portugal in their debut was not only historic but also opened up an unexpected scenario; the "Leopards" arrive with a real chance to reach the knockout stages for the first time in their history. The result left Cristiano Ronaldo's Portuguese team in a critical situation and gave the Africans the confidence that they can compete on equal footing against more experienced teams
The qualification is at stake
The match tonight against Colombia will be crucial to measuring the resilience and ambition of Sébastien Desabre's team. The French coach was satisfied with what was shown in the debut and does not plan to make significant changes to his starting eleven. The defensive structure, which held up against the Portuguese, will once again be the foundation of a team that bets on tactical discipline and speed in offensive transition.
DR Congo possible lineup
Congo could be using a 5-3-2 formation with players like: Lionel Mpasi; Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Chancel Mbemba, Axl Tuanzebe, Steve Kapuadi, Arthur Masuaku; Ngal’ayel Mukau, Samuel Moutoussamy, Edo Kayembe; Yoane Wissa, Cédric Bakambu. Head Coach: Sébastien Desabre.
