DR Congo and Morocco are set to clash in a make-or-break match at the Moi international Sports Center in Nairobi, with both teams level on six points each in Group A of the 2024 TotalEnergies CAF CHAN. The stakes are high, with qualification scenarios hanging in the balance.<\/strong><\/p>\n

DR Congo has shown impressive resilience, bouncing back from a 1-0 loss to Kenya with 2-0 wins over Zambia and Angola. Their defense has been solid, and midfielders Bisamuna and Basiala have provided stability and creativity. Morocco, meanwhile, returned with a vengeance after defeat to co-hosts Kenya, determined to prove themselves as two-time back-to-back champions.<\/p>\n

They kicked off well with a 2-0 win against Angola, stumbled against Kenya with a close 1-0 loss, but frustrated Zambia 3-1 nonetheless.<\/p>\n

The two teams have a closely contested history, with Morocco holding a slight advantage in six matches, winning two and drawing three.<\/p>\n

Both teams have scored in each of their last four encounters, promising an open and exciting match.<\/p>\n

In terms of predicted lineups, DR Congo is expected to field: Efongue; Ndombele, Ntambwe, Katumbwe, Kokelea; Bisamuna, Basiala, Mika; Kitambala, Nyambo, Matobo<\/p>\n

While Morocco is likely to field; Munir; El-Wahdi, El-Yamiq, Masina; Amrabat, Saibari, Ounahi, Belamari; El-Kaabi, Sahraoui, Rahimi<\/p>\n

In the other Group A match, Zambia will face Kenya, with the Harambee Stars needing a win to secure top spot in the quarterfinals. Zambia, already eliminated, may opt for an attacking approach to exploit Kenya’s adventurous play and cause an upset.<\/p>\n

Possible line up for kenya; Byrne Omondi, Lewis Bandi, Aboud Omar, Sylvester Owino,
\nMichael Kibwage, Manzur Okwaro, Alpha Onyango, Austin Odhiambo, Boniface Muchiri, David Sakwa and Ryan Ogam.<\/p>\n

Zambia has endured a nightmarish run, losing all three opening fixtures, while Kenya is flying high with seven points from three matches. Zambia’s coach, Avram Grant, is expected to make several changes, injecting fresh legs and hunger into the squad.<\/p>\n

The predicted Zambia starting XI includes;
\nMwansa, Chongo, Nsiku, and Chanda; Banda, Tembo, Bwalya, and Chishimba; Chisala, Mwanza, and Kampamba.<\/p>\n

With a vociferous home crowd behind them, Kenya remains favorites to claim maximum points and advance to the quarter-finals.<\/p>\n
