Morocco vs DR Congo Preview & Prediction (14:00 KO)
Sunday’s Africa Cup of Nations action sees the DR Congo take on Group F leaders Morocco in San Pedro at 14:00, with the Moroccans knowing that a win will guarantee their advancement to the tournament’s last-16.
Walid Regragui’s side were comfortable 3-0 victors over Tanzania in their opening group match on Wednesday, while the Democratic Republic were held to a 1-1 stalemate by Zambia at the Laurent Pokou Stadium.
That result came as a huge setback to Yoane Wissa and co’s dreams of topping the group, as they will now have to conjure up a major upset against last year’s World Cup semi-finalists – a prospect that seems very unlikely.
Knockout stage advancement via a second or third place finish is still on the cards for Congo if they are defeated however, which means that they’ll be keeping a keen eye on the group’s other fixture between Zambia and Tanzania, as well as the standings across all of the other groups.
We at SportsLens expect another comfortable AFCON group stage victory for Morocco, and are backing them to triumph by a fairly lengthy margin to maintain their 100% record in this year’s edition of the tournament.
Prediction: Morocco 3-1 DR Congo

Morocco vs DR Congo Betting Tips
- Morocco To Win & Both Teams To Score @ 15/4
- Hakim Ziyech To Score Anytime @ 2/1
- Combined Bet Builder Odds @ 8/1
Morocco vs DR Congo Betting Tip 1: Morocco To Win & BTTS @ 15/4
Our first tip for your Sunday afternoon Morocco vs DR Congo Africa Cup of Nations bet builder is to back the Moroccans to reign victorious with both teams scoring during the match, priced by leading UK betting sites at 15/4.
Achraf Hakimi and co. are heavily favoured to come out on top in this one, which comes as little surprise given that they are unbeaten in six straight matches, with five of those coming as victories.
To add value to the selection, we’ve decided to back both teams to score – a feat that was achieved in the DR Congo’s opener against Zambia. Not only that, but both teams were on the scoresheet in both the Congo and Morocco’s final preparation match ahead of the tournament.
As well, both sides have scored in each of their last three meetings across all competitions. Two of these came as recent as March 2022, where the pair played out a 1-1 stalemate, followed by a 4-1 Morocco triumph just five days later in World Championship Qualifying.
Morocco vs DR Congo Betting Tip 2: Hakim Ziyech To Score Anytime @ 2/1
Former Chelsea and Ajax winger Hakim Ziyech always seems to turn it up a notch when representing his nation, even when his form at club level is relatively poor, and this was no different in their opener against Tanzania.
The 30-year-old was instrumental in his side’s attacking play on the right-hand side, sending in two shots on target, as well delivering a key pass in the lead-up to one of their goals during his 81 minute cameo.
We at SportsLens are expecting the Galatasaray forward to put plenty of pressure on the Congolese defence, as he did to the Tanzanians, and are backing him to open his goalscoring account at this year’s tournament by netting at anytime, priced at 2/1 with leading UK bookmakers.
