-----------------------------

Congo DR start their 2026 World Cup preparations with a friendly against Denmark at Stade Maurice-Dufrasne in Liège. Denmark come into the match ranked 20th in the world, while Congo DR sit 46th in the FIFA standings.

Team Analysis:

Denmark narrowly missed out on the 2026 World Cup after a tense playoff defeat to Czechia, despite a strong qualifying campaign and growing debate around Brian Riemer's rebuilding project. Meanwhile, DR Congo earned their place at the tournament with an impressive playoff run and are now using friendlies like this one against Denmark to fine-tune their preparation.

Player Situation:

Denmark arrive at the match with a reshaped squad after several experienced players, including Kasper Schmeichel and Christian Nørgaard, have retired or been left out, while younger names like Will Osula and veteran Christian Eriksen are set to take bigger roles. DR Congo, meanwhile, may rotate their lineup as Sébastien Desabre balances preparation for the World Cup, with players such as Axel Tuanzebe, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, and Yoane Wissa competing for places.

Result Prediction:

Riemer is still searching for the right system to bring out the best in his Denmark squad, while DR Congo have been in solid form over the past year or so. If both sides field strong teams, this friendly in Belgium could be tightly fought and potentially end in a draw.

Predicted Result: Denmark 1-1 DR Congo.
