Denmark will face DR Congo in an international friendly in Liège as they continue their preparations for the 2026 World Cup. The Danes arrive as clear favourites given their superior FIFA ranking and status as one of Europe's leading nations, while DR Congo view the match as a valuable opportunity to test themselves against European opposition ahead of only their second-ever appearance at the World Cup finals.
DR Congo team overview
DR Congo arrive in Belgium after a mixed run of results but remain a dangerous opponent capable of causing problems for the opponents. The Leopards have won four of their last six international fixtures and continue to possess significant physicality and athleticism throughout the squad.
Worth mentioning is the fact that DR Congo have reached the 2026 World Cup final stage through the inter-confederation playoffs, having beaten Jamaica 1-0 in the final match to secure a ticket to their first World Cup appearance since 1974.
Much of their attacking threat comes from players competing in top European leagues. The squad is expected to rely on experienced performers such as Chancel Mbemba, Yoane Wissa, and Cédric Bakambu. Brentford forward Wissa has been particularly influential in recent months and provides pace, movement, and finishing quality in transition situations. No significant injury absences have been reported ahead of the trip to Belgium.

Denmark team overview
Denmark enter this fixture having missed out on the 2026 World Cup after losing to Czechia on penalties in the UEFA Playoff final. This will be the first time the Danes have not qualified for the World Cup since failing to reach the 2014 tournament, and overall only the third time in the last 28 years that they have failed to qualify.
Much of Denmark's strength comes from their tactical discipline and structured build-up play. The squad is expected to feature experienced figures such as Christian Eriksen, Pierre-Emile Højbjerg, Joachim Andersen, and Rasmus Højlund. There have been no major injury concerns reported ahead of the match.

Prediction
Denmark’s international experience may be enough to secure a victory in Liège; however, DR Congo’s solid defensive structure and organisation could still limit the Danes’ chance creation, resulting in a low-scoring match.

- Under 2.5 Goals has landed in five of DR Congo’s last six international fixtures.
