Tue Nov 19 19:17:46 UTC 2024: ## Congo DR Favored to Rout Ethiopia in AFCON Qualifier

**KINSHASA, DRC (November 18, 2024)** – The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) are heavy favorites to defeat a struggling Ethiopia side in their final Group H match of the 2025 CAF Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers on Tuesday. Kick-off is scheduled for 4:00 PM UK time (11:00 AM ET/ 8:00 AM PT).

The Leopards, who reached the semi-finals of the 2023 AFCON, have enjoyed a largely successful qualifying campaign, winning four of their five matches. Despite a recent 1-0 defeat to Guinea, they are expected to bounce back against a significantly weaker Ethiopian team. Ethiopia, having only managed one point from five games, are already eliminated from contention. Their recent 2-0 loss to Tanzania further underscores their poor form.

Experts predict a comfortable victory for the DRC, with some even suggesting a -1 handicap bet in favor of the home side. The match will be televised in the US on beIN Sports and streamed on their platforms, but unfortunately, there will be no UK television or streaming coverage.
