DR Congo head into their final Group K match against Uzbekistan knowing that a win should be enough to secure a place in the World Cup knockout stages. As Uzbekistan have been struggling defensively at the 2026 World Cup finals, we predict a 1-0 home win. The Leopards, meanwhile, have produced encouraging displays so far, drawing 1-1 with Portugal before suffering a narrow 1-0 defeat to Colombia. Newcastle striker Yoane Wissa remains the key man in attack, while Sunderland midfielder Noah Sadiki is pushing for a start. The Africans have been extremely solid at the back, conceding just 0.4 goals per game and keeping six clean sheets in their last ten matches.
Uzbekistan, meanwhile, are playing for pride after a disastrous 5-0 loss to Portugal left their qualification hopes hanging by a thread. The White Wolves have scored only one goal and conceded eight in two group games. Their recent away form is particularly worrying, with three consecutive away defeats and an average of only 0.33 goals scored per away match. Akmal Mozgovoy is expected to return to the starting XI.
Given DR Congo's better form and higher motivation, Home Win is our main betting tip for this matchup, alongside DR Congo to Win to Nil and Under 2.5 goals (DR Congo's defence has been impressive).
This World Cup 2026 match will be played on Sunday 28 June 2026 at 00:30.
