TEAM NEWS
ZIMBABWE
Zimbabwe get their first points at the 2019 African Cup but will feel sad that they did not get all three in the match against Uganda because they rejected some great opportunities to close the victory.
After falling behind in the 12th minute, they responded well and leveled up at the break thanks to Khama Billiat who converted after good work from Ovidy Karuru in the composition but failed to find the second with Knowledge Musona wasting his team's best chance as he pressed the bar .
After failing to win one of their first two matches in Group A, Zimbabwe need to win over DR Congo to give themselves a chance to advance to the knockout stages and will hope to have goalkeeper Edmore Sibanda and striker Nyasha Mushekwi available after they miss the Uganda Game due to injury .
DR CONGO
DR Congo were competitive in their matches against Egypt and hit the goalpost twice but in the end they were not good enough because they lost their second consecutive match at the African Cup of Nations.
After falling 2-0 at the break, DR Congo were unable to return to the game and it ended as a final score to go without a goal or points from one of their first two contests.
The Democratic Republic of the Congo is now out of the desire to advance automatically and must hope the victory here can see them progress to the last 16 as one of the four best teams to finish third in their group and may want to make changes once again after making five for the Game Egypt.
Zimbabwe vs DR Congo Head to Head
Zimbabwe and DR Congo have met twice with Zimbabwe to win one and draw another. The most recent meeting between the two sides was in the AFCON qualifier where he ended in a 1-1 draw.
Zimbabwe vs DR Congo match
Zimbabwe is guilty of poor settlement throughout the competition with Knowledge Musona striker who is likely to fight once again against DR Congo.
DR Congo in their part has failed to merge as a unit at this AFCON and tends to experience more problems in the final third against Zimbabwe.
Uganda vs Egypt Key Statistics
Zimbabwe have drawn 3 of their last 4 matches (all competitions).
Zimbabwe failed to win 5 of their last 6 matches (all competitions).
The Democratic Republic of Congo failed to win 10 of their last 11 matches (all competitions).
Zimbabwe vs DR Congo Prediction
The Democratic Republic of Congo is likely to end their African Cup campaign with defeat when they face Zimbabwe in Sunday's final group match.
Florent Ibenge's side have not managed to score a goal in their campaign so far and have been on the receiving end of two previous goals in each match. The squad was on target several times in the match, but it did not have the precision to beat the goalkeeper at any time.
Zimbabwe lost their opening group match against Egypt on a thin margin but made sure they did not suffer a similar fate when they faced Uganda in the second round. Chidzambwa's men certainly fared far better than they did in the opening match and will look to improve their play further, in their final group match at the Stadium on June 30.
The squad will be interested in opening the scoring in the first half and more than certain to take victory at the end of ninety minutes.
Zimbabwe vs DR Congo betting tips
DR Congo lost @ 3,00 (2/1)
