Algeria – DR Congo: quarter-final spot on the line at AFCON 
Algeria faces DR Congo on Tuesday for a place in the quarter-finals of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
Algeria: supremely confident 
Algeria sailed through the group stage. Three games, three wins, top spot earned.
The Fennecs have been solid at the back and clinical up front. Few chances conceded and they often start matches sharp.
After failures in recent editions, the side looks steadier and better organised.
DR Congo: a block that’s hard to break down 
DR Congo also navigated the opening phase. Two wins and a draw were enough to qualify.
Their strength is defence. The Leopards shut down space and give opponents very little room.
Games are often tight and low-scoring.
Likely line-ups
Algeria :
Zidane ; Belghali, Mandi, Bensebaini, Dorval ; Boudaoui, Bennacer ; Amoura, Mahrez, Hadj Moussa ; Maza
DR Congo :
Mpasi-Nzau ; Masuaku, Tuanzebe, Mbemba, Wan-Bissaka ; Moutoussamy, Sadiki, Mukau ; Elia, Bakambu, Bongonda
Key takeaways
- Algeria unbeaten in the group stage.
- DR Congo solid at the back.
- Both teams can score first.
- Likely a tight, low-scoring game.
Football Prediction Algeria vs DR Congo
Algeria to win
Algeria looks the more complete side. In a tight game, they’ve got what it takes to make the difference.
First, a word on our predictions
- What we publish on Mathodds are analyses, nothing more. We share an opinion, a snapshot reading, never a guarantee. Sport is what it is: unpredictable. A red card, an injury, a freak goal… and the script flips.
- Let’s be clear: there’s no such thing as a risk-free bet. Even when something looks “obvious”, it usually isn’t. Yes, you can lose. It will happen sooner or later.
- Best advice: be sensible. Stake small, set a budget and stick to it. Don’t touch money you need to live. And don’t chase losses — it rarely ends well.
- Betting should stay a pastime, not a job or an income source. If it takes over your life, bugs you, or stresses you out, step back. If needed, talk to a specialist organisation. That’s what they’re for.
- Ultimately, it’s your responsibility. Reading our content means accepting the risk exists and won’t vanish, even with the best analysis in the world.
- Important reminder: betting is forbidden to minors and must comply with your country’s laws. Gambling can spiral (money loss, family tension, addiction). Need Help? Call 1-800-GAMBLER. In the UK? Visit https://www.gambleaware.org/https://www.gambleaware.org/.
No commitment from us
Our predictions don’t constitute a contract. They have no legal standing. In short: you can’t rely on them to claim anything if a bet fails.
Information can change
A prediction is based on what we know when we write it. But a lineup changes, a player gets injured, the weather turns… and the analysis can be outdated fast. We can’t be held responsible for that.
Your role
Before betting, just check that gambling is legal where you are. If it’s not, that’s on you, not us.
Responsible gambling first
We won’t say it enough: gamble in moderation. If you struggle to stay in control, don’t wait to get help. We can’t be held responsible for compulsive or excessive use of the site’s info.
