It was unexpected to find the Democratic Republic of Congo’s Léopards bottom of the table at this point. But that’s the reality in Group I of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying series.
The talented side will have to put in extra effort when they face Gabon in a crucial must win match in Libreville.
Coach Sebastien Desabre has assembled a decent team to the job even with the absence of talisman Cédric Bakambu who is suspended after accumulating two yellow cards.
With two games remaing, the DRC must win them all. They don’t have the luxury to drop any points.
Group leaders Gabon are as determined and they too cannot afford to drop point.
After four matches, the DRC has only managed four points, three behind Gabon and two point less than second placed Sudan.
