The DR Congo national football team faces Portugal this Wednesday in Houston in group K from 19h French time. The DR Congo is once again tasting the joys of the World Cup, after a course filled with obstacles that forced them to successively eliminate Cameroon, Nigeria, and Jamaica in the playoffs to secure their qualification. The Leopards will present themselves with their best assets like Yoane Wissa, Cédric Bakambu, Chancel Mbemba, or even Aaron Wan-Bissaka, all starters. The match takes place at the NRG Stadium in Houston, whose roof will be closed due to a tropical storm alert launched in Texas. The Portuguese validated their qualification for the World Cup by finishing at the top of group F of the European qualifiers. Their ticket was only officially assured on the last day, concluded by a spectacular 9-1 victory against Armenia. The preparation has also been reassuring, with victories against Chile and Nigeria. And now, the Leopards are ready to face the Lusitaniens. But Cristiano Ronaldo's long drought could be a key factor in this match. So, who will be the winner of this crucial match?
