Team news: Egypt continue without Mohamed Salah, who is injured. Trézéguet could be the man to replace the Liverpool player having come off the bench to score in the draw against Cape Verde.
DR Congo can call upon the services of Brentford striker, Yoane Wissa. Cédric Bakambu, Meschak Elia, and Silas Katompa Mvumpa are all battling for a place in the DR Congo attack.
Considering both teams have been drawing so many matches, the probability of another draw in this game is high.
We expect to see both teams scoring and for the game to end level, with extra time and the possibility of penalties to decide the winner.
