Matchday 7 in the CAF World Cup Qualifiers will see South Sudan play host to DR Congo at the Juba Stadium on Friday. The Bright Stars are in fifth place in Group A, while the Leopards lead the standings. Let’s get into the match prediction.
With just three points after six games, South Sudan’s hopes of reaching their first-ever World Cup main draw could be brought to an end if they lost this match.
The Bright Stars points in this competition have come via draws against Maritania, Togo and most recently, 1-1 versus Sudan. They now have a record of W3 D2 L5 in their last 10 games across all competitions.
The hosts failed to score in their two home matches in this competition and have never won a World Cup qualification match as South Sudan.
Meanwhile, DR Congo are also aiming to reach their first World Cup since gaining independence and currently lead the group with 13 points, one more than Senegal and Sudan.
The Leopards beat Mauritania 2-0 in their last match in this competition and are now unbeaten in four games. They’ve also kept clean sheets in each of their last three WC qualifier games.
The visitors have split their three away games W1 D1 L1. Notably, they beat this opponent 1-0 in the reverse fixture back in March.

Our South Sudan vs DR Congo Prediction
It’s crunch time for South Sudan, as a defeat in this match could end their hopes of qualifying for the 2026 World Cup. However, they’ve never won a match in this competition and are likely to change that record against the group leaders here.
The Leopards are massive favourites to take all three points here. The visitors have not been prolific in attack in this competition, but they have been excellent in defence, and we feel they will record another clean sheet in this one. Our South Sudan vs DR Congo prediction is both teams to score (NO).
