Angola vs Congo DR Prediction and Betting Tips | 14th August 2025

Angola and DR Congo lock horns at the Moi International Sports Centre in Nairobi on Thursday at the 2024 African Nations Championship. Ranked 85th in the world, Angola are making their fifth appearance at the tournament and remain on track to reach the knockout stages yet again.

The Black Sable Antelopes were beaten 2-0 by Morocco in their opening game of the campaign before being held to a 1-1 draw by Kenya in their next.

Jo Paciencia fired them in front just seven minutes after the kick-off, but Austin Odhiambo equalized for the Championship co-hosts in the 12th minute. Against Zambia, Angola produced a late surge to fight back from 1-0 down in the 73rd minute to win 2-1.

With four points in three games, Angola are currently second in Group A and trail leaders Kenya by three points. Just one point off them is DR Congo, who recovered from their opening day loss at the hands of Kenya to beat Zambia 2-0 in their next.

Following a cagey opening stanza, Ibrahim Matobo and Malanga Mwaku netted apiece in the second half to give the Leopards a comfortable win. They are still fourth in the group and need a win to stand a chance of progressing.
