England walk into their FIFA World Cup 2026 group-stage clash against DR Congo at Atlanta Stadium as firm favourites on paper, but tournament football has a habit of punishing complacency. The Three Lions will look to control possession, press early and use their width to stretch a well-organised DR Congo backline.
DR Congo arrive full of confidence after a spirited World Cup campaign so far. The Leopards have leaned on pace on the counter-attack and set-piece threat, and they will need a disciplined defensive shape to keep England's forward line quiet for long spells at Atlanta Stadium.
Key Storylines
Can England's front line break down a compact DR Congo defence early, or will the Leopards spring a surprise on the counter? Set pieces, squad rotation and the Atlanta heat could all play a decisive role in how this one unfolds.
