Despite DR Congo’s dominance on paper, South Sudan’s home advantage and desperation for a breakthrough could tilt the balance slightly. The Bright Stars have shown resilience in patches, and with the crowd behind them, they may find the spark needed to breach Congo’s defense. The midfield battle will be crucial, with Chol and Emmanuel Loki tasked with disrupting Congo’s rhythm. If Yuel can exploit the spaces behind Wan-Bissaka, South Sudan could snatch a goal and make this contest more competitive than expected.

While DR Congo are favorites, the prediction leans toward a narrow 2-1 win for the visitors. South Sudan’s hunger for a first win and their familiarity with the Juba pitch might earn them a consolation goal, but Congo’s superior tactical discipline and individual brilliance should see them through. Expect a tense affair with moments of brilliance, especially from Bakambu and Wissa, who could be the difference-makers in a match that may be closer than the standings suggest.
