DR Congo look to secure top spot in a thrilling Group D finale

With Senegal and DR Congo both sitting on four points and Benin close behind with three, Group D sets up a dramatic finale on Tuesday at the AFCON 2025, live on beIN SPORTS XTRA. The final standings remain wide open, and where each team finishes will directly impact its path in the knockout stages.

Experience and momentum favor the Leopards

DR Congo arrive at this decisive match as one of the most experienced nations in the tournament. The Leopards are on the verge of reaching the knockout rounds for a fifth consecutive Africa Cup of Nations, having advanced in 2015, 2017, 2019 and 2023. Their consistency at this level continues to set them apart.

The Congolese side opened its AFCON 2025 campaign with a narrow but important 1–0 victory over Benin, before earning a hard-fought draw against Senegal, widely considered one of the strongest squads in the competition. Those results have positioned DR Congo well heading into the final group match.

Botswana face final test despite early elimination

Tuesday’s matchup presents a favorable scenario for DR Congo, as they face a Botswana team that has already been eliminated after suffering two defeats without scoring a goal in its opening matches. While Botswana will be eager to end its tournament on a positive note, the challenge against a motivated and disciplined Congolese side remains significant.

Meanwhile, Senegal and Benin are expected to engage in a physically demanding battle in the other Group D fixture, potentially allowing DR Congo to capitalize and claim first place in the group.

A win would not only secure top spot but could also set the Leopards up for a more favorable draw in the Round of 16, echoing their impressive run in the 2023 edition, where they reached the semifinals.
