Colombia have won each of their last three World Cup matches against African opposition, while DR Congo recently faced South American opponents earlier this month, suffering a 2-1 defeat to Chile.

Tonight’s encounter will be the first-ever meeting between Colombia and DR Congo.

Head-to-head history

Coach Sébastien Desabre’s side have also proven difficult to beat in recent months, suffering only two defeats in their last 14 matches while recording nine wins and three draws.

The result marked a historic moment for the Leopards, who registered both their first World Cup goal and first World Cup point after previously losing all three matches without scoring during their only previous appearance in 1974 as Zaire.

Democratic Republic of the Congo also arrive with growing confidence after battling back to earn a 1-1 draw against Portugal in their opening match.

Néstor Lorenzo’s side have also carried strong form into the competition, losing just two of their last 14 matches while recording eight wins and four draws during that period.

Another victory tonight would secure qualification to the knockout stages for a third consecutive World Cup appearance, underlining the progress the nation has made in recent tournaments.

Colombia made a strong start to their World Cup journey with a 3-1 victory over Uzbekistan, placing themselves in a commanding position in Group K.
