Analysis of the Chad-DR Congo match
The Chad-DR Congo match or David against Goliath. On one side the Chadians, who are aiming for their first qualification for CHAN, and on the other, the Congolese, big regulars in the final phase, holders of records for participation (6 tied with Uganda) and final victories ( 2 tied with Morocco).
Two years ago, during the last qualifying campaign, the Local Leopards won twice, and with a clear victory on the return to Kinshasa. A double confrontation with two faces, according to Congolese coach Otis Ngoma, who therefore says he is particularly wary at the time of reuniting with the Sao A'.
The Congolese are therefore approaching this first act with maximum seriousness, with their sights set on a record seventh qualification. Their last participation in 2022 ended in immense disappointment (elimination in the first round). Before that, they were conspicuous by their absence in 2018, then stopped in the quarter-finals of the 2020 edition.
Their last coronation dates back to their second star in 2016, seven years after the first won during the inaugural edition of CHAN, in 2009. During their first drought, they systematically stumbled in the quarter-finals (2011, 2014).
