"DR Congo will look to seal their place in the Africa Cup of Nations last 16 when they face Botswana in their final Group D encounter. Having followed up their win over Benin with a draw with Senegal, DR Congo will clinch a spot in the knockouts if they better Benin's result against the Lions of Teranga. Against a Botswana side already eliminated having lost both their opening games, DR Congo will be confident of achieving that feat."
""We're making progress, that's for sure," Desabre said after the draw with Senegal. "We've played against two very strong African teams recently, and these kinds of matches help us keep improving in our play and intensity. "Today, we've shown that DR Congo can stand up to the best team in Africa. Now, we must stay focused for the match against Botswana and go for the top spot in the group.""
DR Congo can clinch a place in the Africa Cup of Nations last 16 by bettering Benin's result against Senegal in the final Group D fixtures. Botswana enter the match already eliminated after losing both opening games, giving DR Congo a favourable route to qualification. DR Congo also retain a chance to finish top of the group if they outperform Senegal's result against Benin. Arthur Masuaku may be rested after an injury scare, and predicted line-ups are provided for both sides. The match kicks off at 7pm UK time and is available on Channel 4 Sport's YouTube channel. Recent form includes three of the last four AFCON campaigns reaching at least the quarter-finals and an unbeaten run since a September defeat to Senegal.
