Tanzania host DR Congo at the Benjamin Mkapa Stadium in Dar es Salaam on Tuesday for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, looking to boost their progression hopes. The Taifa Stars were dealt their first loss of the campaign last week when Congo beat them 1-0.
Clement Mzize struck an own goal in the 53rd minute that made the difference that day.
Before that, Hemed Morocco's side beat Guinea 2-1 and had shared the spoils with Ethiopia in their opening game in a goalless stalemate. With four points in the bag, they are in second place in Group H, behind leaders DR Congo who have nine points.
Ranked 110th in the world, Tanzania are looking to qualify for their fourth AFCON tournament, and a second in a row. Earlier this year, at the 2023 edition of the competition, they went out in the group stages after failing to win any of their fixtures.
Meanwhile, DR Congo achieved fourth place at this year's showpiece, and are well on course to reach the Moroccan edition next year too. They are one of the six teams who have a 100% win record in this round of the qualifiers right now, and just need a draw here to seal their berth.
Tanzania vs DR Congo Head-To-Head and Key Numbers
- There have been 10 clashes between the sides in the past, with the Taifa Stars winning just thrice and losing on four occasions. Their last win in the fixture came back in March 2018 (2-0 in a friendly).
- Hemed Morocco's side lost 1-0 to the Leopards last week, ending their five-game unbeaten run. After keeping four clean sheets in a row, they've conceded in their next two.
- The Leopards have won their last four official games in a row, keeping a clean sheet in each of them, while remaining unbeaten in their last six.
Tanzania vs DR Congo Prediction
The home side have struggled lately, especially in the attack, but their visitors are on a fine run of form, winning their last couple of games.
Although their attack hasn't been the best, a stoic defense means teams have struggled to score against them, and this has been their greatest weapon.
Prediction: Tanzania 0-1 DR Congo
