Taifa Stars today will face DR Congo in an important game to compete for the knock-out stage of the Afcon 2023 championship which is ongoing in Ivory Coast
Perhaps today will witness a 'battle' of its kind between the former Yanga striker Fiston Mayele who serves DR Congo against the Stars defense line which is expected to be led by the stump defender Ibrahim Bacca and Bakari Mwamnyeto or Dickson Job
DR Congo coach Sebastien Desabre may start Mayele in his squad today, believing that he knows well the Stars defenders he played with in Yanga for two seasons
However, Mayele will have a difficult task in front of Bacca and his colleagues as even they are aware of his strengths and weaknesses
This will be Mayele's first match against Tanzania since he left Yanga to join Pyramids last season
