DR Congo vs Uzbekistan Main Match Info

DR Congo vs Uzbekistan Moneyline Prediction

DR Congo failed to build on their impressive 1-1 draw against Portugal in their 2026 FIFA World Cup opener and lost 1-0 to Colombia after conceding a late second-half goal.

Nonetheless, it was an encouraging performance for the Leopards, as they still control their own destiny in the race for third place in the Group K standings, provided they earn all three points here.

Uzbekistan’s lack of experience has been noticeable throughout the tournament. They opened with a 3-1 loss to Colombia before falling 5-0 to Portugal.

Entering this fixture as underdogs, the Central Asians don’t seem to have enough weapons to get something out of this clash. Across two matches, they’ve recorded 1.4 xG for and 4.2 xG against.

Only Iraq, Cape Verde, and Curaçao have allowed a higher xGA among teams that have played two group-stage games. Given that DR Congo’s main strength lies in attack, led by Yoane Wissa and Cedric Bakambu, the African side should come out on top here. They know that a win here is essential to keep their knockout-stage hopes alive.

DR Congo vs Uzbekistan Player Prop

Wissa may not have enjoyed his best season at Newcastle United, but he remains DR Congo’s biggest attacking threat and scored the team’s only goal of the World Cup so far in the draw against Portugal.

The former Brentford star is known for his pace, and despite being forced to play in a more central role for the Leopards, his explosiveness in the final metres makes him the squad’s most reliable option to score against a slow, inexperienced Uzbekistan defence.

DR Congo vs Uzbekistan Same Game Parlay

Uzbekistan found the back of the net against Colombia and came close to scoring against Portugal. However, they may struggle to cope with the physicality of a DR Congo team that looked competitive against both Portugal and Colombia.

They could be in line to record their first clean sheet of the current World Cup campaign.

DR Congo should also take advantage of Uzbekistan’s defensive woes, as the Central Asian side have conceded eight goals in two fixtures. Even though the Leopards have scored just one goal in the tournament so far, they have enough quality to capitalise on their chances against an Uzbekistan defence that has looked porous.

The corner market also offers value. DR Congo generate plenty of corners due to their constant crossing into the box and overlapping on the flanks. Their only goal of the tournament came from a corner, and they’ve earned exactly four corners in each of their two encounters. Given that they are expected to enjoy more possession than they did against Portugal and Colombia, the 3.5-corner line should be within reach.

DR Congo vs Uzbekistan Team News

DR Congo Team News

The main question for DR Congo revolves around tactics, with uncertainty over whether they’ll play a 4-4-2 or the 5-3-2 formation they used in the two opening games against Portugal and Colombia.

Noah Sidiki could start to strengthen the midfield, while Wissa and Bakambu are expected to lead the line. They have no fitness concerns or suspensions.

Uzbekistan Team News

Uzbekistan should be at full strength from a fitness perspective, but they’re likely to make several changes following their 5-0 loss to Portugal.

Most of the changes are likely to come on the defensive end, although Manchester City defender Abdukodir Khusanov should remain in the starting XI. Expect Eldor Shomurodov and Abbosbek Fayzullaev to lead the attacking line.
