DR Congo Form

The Democratic Republic of Congo secured their place in the FIFA World Cup inter-confederation playoffs after finishing second in Group B of the qualifiers with 22 points from ten games. They scored 15 goals and conceded six.

DR Congo competed at the recent Africa Cup of Nations, beating Benin 1-0, drawing 1-1 with Senegal, and defeating Botswana 3-0 before losing 1-0 to Algeria in the round of 16.

The Leopards of the Democratic Republic have won three of their last five matches, including one defeat. They scored seven goals and conceded two.

DR Congo have been in great touch in their last ten outings, with eight wins, one defeat, and one draw, giving them the advantage over Jamaica to reach their first FIFA World Cup finals since 1974.

Jamaica Form

Jamaica secured their place in the final of the FIFA World Cup inter-confederation playoffs with a narrow 1-0 victory over New Caledonia last week.

Before that vital win, Jamaica contested two international friendlies in preparation for the playoffs, defeating Grenada 1-0 and Martinique 2-0.

The Reggae Boyz have won three of their last five games, including one defeat and one draw. They scored eight goals and conceded three.

Jamaica are undefeated in their last six matches, with four victories and two draws, but they will have to play well to beat DR Congo, as their opponents conceded six goals in ten FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
