Dieumerci Mbokani, the Congolese striker from Anderlecht, who scored a double against Equatorial Guinea in the first leg of the last round of the CAN 2013 qualifiers, is expected to play a prominent role in the return match. With 13 goals already this season in all competitions for his club, Mbokani has surpassed his goal tally from the previous season (18).
The Jupiler League in the Belgian championship has proven to be successful for the 26-year-old striker, who had previously gained experience in the Bundesliga with Wolfsburg in 2010-2011 and in the French Ligue 1 with Monaco in 2010-2011. Mbokani, a former player of Al Puissant Mazembe who made his professional debut at Standard de Liège, is now considered a key player and is ready to face any opponent.
