Match preview

Colombia and DR Congo meet in Group K of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, with both sides aiming to take a crucial step towards the knockout stages. Colombia, a traditional South American powerhouse, enter the tournament on the back of a strong qualifying campaign, blending experienced stars like James Rodríguez and Luis Díaz with emerging talents. Their style is built on possession-based, attacking football, with quick transitions and individual brilliance in wide areas. However, defensive lapses have occasionally cost them in big matches.

DR Congo, making their second World Cup appearance, have grown into a disciplined, counter-attacking unit under their coach. Led by captain Chancel Mbemba at the back and the creative spark of Yoane Wissa, they rely on physicality and set-piece threats. Their path to qualification was marked by resilience, but they face a step up in class against Colombia's technical superiority.

Key battles will occur in midfield, where Colombia's Jefferson Lerma must disrupt DR Congo's rhythm, while the African side will look to exploit spaces behind Colombia's full-backs. For Colombia, a win is expected to set up a favorable path, while DR Congo will see this as a chance to upset the odds. Expect an open game, with Colombia likely to dominate possession but DR Congo dangerous on the break.

Key players to watch

Colombia

Luis Díaz (Liverpool) — The explosive winger is Colombia's primary threat, with pace, dribbling, and an eye for goal. His ability to cut inside from the left will test DR Congo's defense.
James Rodríguez (São Paulo) — The veteran playmaker remains the creative heartbeat, dictating tempo with his passing and vision. His set-piece delivery could be decisive.
Davinson Sánchez (Tottenham Hotspur) — The commanding center-back must organize the defense and cope with DR Congo's physical forwards.

Congo DR

Chancel Mbemba (Marseille) — The captain and defensive rock, Mbemba's leadership and aerial prowess are vital. He will be tasked with marshaling the backline against Colombia's fluid attack.
Yoane Wissa (Brentford) — The versatile attacker offers pace and direct running. His counter-attacking threat could exploit spaces left by Colombia's full-backs.
Gaël Kakuta (Amiens) — The creative midfielder provides flair and set-piece delivery. His ability to find pockets of space will be key to unlocking Colombia's defense.
