DR Congo will be doing all they can to make up a gap of two points that separates them from the top two teams in Group J, Tanzania and Benin, and the Leopards have an excellent opportunity in the next week when they take on both teams to wrap up their fixtures in the second round. Foot.cd has comments from the two team leaders, talismanic forward Dieumerci Mbokani and defender Chancel Mbemba, who state that the team will be putting all they have into getting wins starting on the road against Tanzania on Thursday before returning to face Benin at home three days later.
Playmaker Gaël Kakuta of RC Lens has returned to the fold for the Leopards and will be a massive boost to an attack that has lacked firepower in his absence during the previous four qualifying matches. Stating that injury has caused his previous absences, Kakuta emphasized that he is healthy and motivated to make the difference with a need for points at an all-time high.
