Colombia vs D.R. Congo Head-to-Head: Record, Stats & Form (Updated June 2026)

The Colombia vs D.R. Congo head-to-head is a genuinely fresh encounter, with the two nations set to meet for the first time in recorded international history when they face off at the World Cup 2026 on 24 June 2026. Colombia arrive as the higher-ranked side at 12th in the world, while D.R. Congo sit at 43rd, making this a compelling cross-confederation clash between two teams who have arrived at the tournament via very different routes.

Head-to-Head Record

There are no recorded head-to-head meetings between Colombia and D.R. Congo in international football. The two nations have never previously been drawn against one another at a World Cup or in any other tracked international fixture, meaning the 24 June encounter will be a true first. With no shared history to draw on, recent form, squad quality and tournament context carry all the analytical weight here.

Colombia: Recent Form

Colombia head into this fixture on a strong run, winning their last three matches in a row after back-to-back defeats in March. Across their last six outings they have posted a 4W–0D–2L record, scoring 13 goals and conceding 7 — an average of 2.17 goals scored and 1.17 conceded per match. Their points-per-game figure across that spell stands at 2.00, and they have kept two clean sheets while finding the net in every single fixture. The two losses came against France (1–3) and Croatia (1–2) in March, both at home, but Colombia have responded emphatically with wins over Australia, Costa Rica, Jordan and Uzbekistan.

• 18 Jun 2026: Uzbekistan 1–3 Colombia (Away — W)
• 7 Jun 2026: Colombia 2–0 Jordan (Home — W)
• 1 Jun 2026: Colombia 3–1 Costa Rica (Home — W)
• 29 Mar 2026: Colombia 1–3 France (Home — L)

D.R. Congo: Recent Form

D.R. Congo’s recent record is defined by resilience and low scoring. In their last six matches they have managed just 1 win, 4 draws and 1 defeat, accumulating a points-per-game figure of 1.17. They have scored only 4 goals in that period — an average of 0.67 per match — but their defensive discipline is notable: four clean sheets in six outings and just 3 goals conceded (avg 0.50 per match). The flip side is that they have failed to score in three of those six fixtures. Their most eye-catching result was a 1–1 draw away to Portugal on 17 June, underlining their capacity to frustrate higher-ranked opposition.

• 17 Jun 2026: Portugal 1–1 D.R. Congo (Away — D)
• 9 Jun 2026: D.R. Congo 1–2 Chile (Home — L)
• 3 Jun 2026: Denmark 0–0 D.R. Congo (Away — D)

Congo’s 0.67, and they have scored in every one of their last six fixtures. D.R.
