DR Congo's perfect start to the 2027 AFCON qualifiers, with two wins and a plus-three goal difference after victories over Equatorial Guinea and Zimbabwe, underpins the 93.5% implied probability assigned by traders. The Leopards feature a strengthened squad including Europe-based talents like Yoane Wissa and Aaron Wan-Bissaka, building on their recent World Cup appearance. This depth and recent form create a significant edge over Zimbabwe, Equatorial Guinea, and Sierra Leone in the remaining November 2026 and March 2027 windows. Upsets in away fixtures, key injuries, or unexpected results among the lower-ranked sides could narrow the gap, though the current standings and roster quality sustain the strong market consensus for DR Congo to top Group E.
