D.R. Congo and Madagascar go head to head at Rabat in the 2022 Group J World Cup qualifier fixture. Group J in the African World Cup qualification is one of the most tightest, with all four teams with a chance of reaching the next round.
Madagascar are currently locked at the bottom, having failed to pick up a single point from the two games they have played. Madagascar made a slow start to their World Cup qualifying campaign with the team losing to both Benin and Tanzania in the opening two fixtures.
Madagascar have conceded four times, which is an average of two goals against per game. Madagascar come to this match from a 3-2 defeat to Tanzania. They lost in a 1-0 result in the opening match against Benin.

D.R. Congo similarly are yet to win in Group J and have no lost neither. Congo have picked up back-to-back draws in the two games that they have played the recent being against Benin. Dieumerci Mbokani scored the opening goal in that game, but Benin hit back with the equalizer before the half time.
DR Congo have had consistency having not lost in 11 of the last 12 WC qualifiers and have also scored in each of their last 10 world cup qualifiers. Dieumerci Mbokani and Brentford attacker Yoane Wissa are in a fine form in line for the starting squad.
