A major continental clash is set for Sunday, October 18, 2026, at 15:00 for the first leg of the second preliminary round of the CAF Confederation Cup. Congolese side DC Virunga will host Angolan giants C.D. Primeiro de Agosto in a high-stakes encounter where the Montagnards will aim to assert their game at home before the return leg.
DC Virunga approaches this match with ambitions to surprise, despite an inconsistent recent form marked by two wins and three losses in their last five matches across all competitions. Supported by their fans from afar, as the match will be played behind closed doors, and with a strong desire to represent Congolese football, the Green and Whites hope to excel and gain a crucial advantage for qualification.
On the other hand, Primeiro de Agosto arrives as the clear favorite, riding a strong wave of success both continentally and nationally. Undefeated in their last five matches (three wins and two draws), the Angolans display great consistency and a well-established experience in African competitions. This is a crucial match where DC Virunga must deliver a flawless performance to instill doubt in the Luanda giant right from the kickoff.
