Currently on a run of three straight home wins without conceding a single goal, the Scorpions now go in search of a crucial victory if they are to keep their AFCON dream alive.
Meanwhile, Congo were beaten in front of their fans for the second game running in a 2-0 defeat to Mali at Stade Alphonse Massemba-Debat on June 18.
With six points picked up from five matches, Paul Put’s side currently sit third in Group G, three points behind this weekend’s opponents.
