Obviously, the long-awaited meeting between the Leopards of the DRC and the Syli National of Guinea this Saturday, November 16, 2024 at the Alassane Ouattara stadium in Ebimpé is already arousing passion and interest. This fifth match of the qualifiers for the Africa Cup of Nations (CAN) Morocco 2025 promises to be explosive, full of stakes and rivalry.
On the one hand, Guinea, after two consecutive defeats against the DRC, aspires to take revenge and consolidate its position for qualification. Placed in second position behind an already qualified DRC, a victory against the Leopards would propel them on the right track for the competition in Morocco. Under the leadership of Michel Dussuyer, the Syli National can count on the sparkling form of Serhou Guirrasy, a real attacking dynamo. With 5 goals scored in two matches against Ethiopia, he is positioned as the top scorer of the qualifiers.
Borussia Dortmund’s talented centre-forward is undeniably the spearhead of his team, combining impressive performances for club and country. His determination to fly the flag for Guinea and his brilliant run in the Bundesliga make him a must-have. His formidable tandem with Seydouba Cissé promises to send shivers down the spines of the Congolese defenders.
Faced with this imminent threat, Leopards coach Sebastien Desabre will have to deploy solid tactics to counter Guirrasy’s attacks and maintain his team’s defensive balance. The challenge is daunting, but also represents an opportunity for improvement for the Congolese team.
After a period of criticism following mixed performances in the previous AFCON, Guirrasy seems reinvigorated under Dussuyer. His recent statement on the importance of the game system is a testament to his newfound confidence and connection with the team.
In short, this confrontation between Guinea and the DRC promises to be an intense duel, full of rivalry and determination. Football fans can expect a high-level show, where sporting stakes will mix with the passion of the supporters. Serhou Guirrasy and the Leopards of the DRC are ready to fight, promising a memorable evening for all football fans.
