DR Congo's robust defensive strategy is highlighted as a potential concern for England ahead of their World Cup Round of 32 clash on Wednesday.
Under coach Sebastien Desabre, DR Congo has not been beaten by more than one goal in four years, a record that includes a draw against Portugal and a narrow defeat to Colombia in the group stage.
The team typically employs a back five with disciplined wing-backs, focusing on surrendering possession and striking on counter-attacks.
England, managed by Thomas Tuchel, will face a side known for its ability to avoid losing, contrasting with England's recent struggles in attacking creativity.
