What is at stake for Algeria vs. DR Congo?

Algeria have failed to make it out of the group stage since their Africa Cup of Nations triumph in 2019, when they defeated Senegal 1-0 in the final. 

Having finally overcome their group stage struggles, Algeria will be eager to make it all the way to the final and lift their third Africa Cup of Nations trophy, alongside their victories in 2019 and 1990. 

However, DR Congo demonstrated their quality in Group D, remaining undefeated with two wins and one draw, leaving them joint on seven points with eventual group winners Senegal, who they only finished behind on goal difference. 

DR Congo will be looking to continue showing their quality when they take on Algeria, especially as they aim to go one step further than their semi-final elimination in 2023, when they lost 1-0 to eventual victors Ivory Coast.
