Nigeria vs DR Congo: Prediction, kick-off time, team news, TV, live stream, h2h results, odds today

Nigeria will play the Democratic Republic of Congo in a World Cup qualifying play-off final on Sunday.

Akor Adams struck in the 78th minute to open the scoring, but former Southampton midfielder Mario Lemina popped up with an 89th-minute equaliser to force extra time at the Moulay Hassan Stadium.

Chidera Ejuke put Nigeria’s noses ahead seven minutes into the additional half-hour before star striker Victor Osimhen bagged a brace to cement their place in Sunday’s final.

Sebastien Desabre’s side are bidding to play in just their second World Cup, having only featured once back in 1974.

The two sides will face off, looking to earn a place in the inter-confederation play-offs next year in Mexico. That mini-tournament will decide the final two spots at the World Cup.

Nigeria vs DR Congo is scheduled for a 7pm GMT kick-off today, Sunday, November 16, 2025.

The match will take place at the Stade Prince Moulay Abdellah in Rabat, Morocco.

TV channel: In the UK, the game will not be broadcast live on TV.

Live stream: However, it is available to stream live on FIFA’s official streaming service, FIFA+.

As for the Leopards, they suffered no injury or suspensions after their win over Cameroon.

Neither side are hampered by any major injuries.

Nigeria have the star power, but the DR Congo have a solid defence.

They demonstrated that by shutting out Bryan Mbeumo and co. against Cameroon, but they will have a totally different challenge when Osimhen is in town, supported by Ademola Lookman and Adams.
