Thursday\u2019s clash at the Stade El-Barid in Morocco promises to be fiercely contested, with both nations eyeing a return to football\u2019s biggest stage after missing out in 2022.<\/p>\n<p>Cameroon, five-time World Cup participants, will rely heavily on Mbeumo\u2019s creativity and pace to break down a Congolese defence that has been difficult to penetrate throughout the campaign. The Lions will, however, be without senior figures Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting and Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa, both ruled out through injury.<\/p>\n<p>DR Congo, led by coach S\u00e9bastien Desabre, have also been dealt a major blow with the absence of forward Yoane Wissa, sidelined through injury. His absence deprives the Leopards of a vital attacking option, forcing Desabre to rethink his frontline strategy.<\/p>\n<p>Kick-off is set for 8 p.m. local time (GMT+1), with the winner advancing to the final round of CAF\u2019s World Cup playoff series in March 2026.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Copyright\u00a92025 kick442.com-Cameroon<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>All rights reserved.
