Congo DR Recent Form — Last 5
Key Factors
Colombia showed high clinical efficiency in their opener (3 goals from 1.95 xG), but face a DR Congo side that limited Portugal to just 1.1 xG in a disciplined 1-1 draw.
The match is played at the Estadio Akron in Guadalajara (1,600m altitude), which favors endurance; recent tropical storms and high humidity may slow the tempo and favor a physical, defensive low block.
Tactical Matchup: Colombia's wide overloads via Luis Díaz and Daniel Muñoz will test DR Congo’s 5-3-2 defensive structure, which successfully neutralized Portugal’s elite attackers.
Injuries & Absentees
Colombia has a fully fit squad, boosted by the return of Jhon Córdoba (ST) from a thigh injury, providing more physical presence up front. DR Congo remains unchanged from their match against Portugal, maintaining a settled defensive unit with Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Chancel Mbemba both fully fit.
