DR Congo take on the visitors Morocco in the round 1 match of Africa Cup of Nations group stage. The match will be played on Monday, January 16th.
DR haven’t won any notable competitions for a while but managed to finish third in previous Africa Cup of Nations, winning bronze medals. The team have almost no famous players, except duo of strikers, Mbokani and Bakambu. The team improved in past couple of years and continue battling for a place at the World Cup 2018. They might advance for the playoffs of this competition but draw wasn’t favorable for them as they got in the same group with strong Morocco and Cote d’Ivoire, the winners of previous tournament.

Right before the start of the competition, Morocco ended their impressive 13-match run without single defeat that started almost one year ago, losing to Finland, 0-1. Morocco have more skilled players in the team, competing to DR Congo, as they can count on Benatia, Boussoufa, El Ahmadi and El Arabi, footballers who proved their high level in top teams. On top of that, the team will be led by head coach Herve Renard, who have won two titles of Africa Cup of Nations with two difference teams. Of course, such experience of the head coach will be great addition to Morocco footballers.
DR Congo and Morocco national football teams faced one another nine times before. Five head-to-heads ended with draws, and each side recorded two wins in other four matches. Despite quite even record, Morocco are favorites as they are undefeated in matches against DR Congo since 1973 for fix matches in a row, so we can expect this series to be extended after the matchup.
Prediction for the match: Morocco to win with 0.0 Asian handicap.
