DR Congo Form

DR Congo dropped crucial points for the second consecutive time at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, losing 1-0 to Colombia on Tuesday.

Guerriers de l'Équateur had 34% possession and nine shots in the game, with three attempts on target.

Before that result, La Céleste started their group stage campaign with a 1-1 draw against Portugal.

The Leopards have secured one victory in their last five matches, with two defeats and two draws. They scored three goals and conceded four.

DR Congo have a point after two rounds and must beat Uzbekistan to finish on four points, giving them a chance of making the round of 32 as one of the best third-placed teams.

Uzbekistan Form

Uzbekistan were swept aside by Portugal in their second game at the FIFA World Cup on Tuesday, losing 5-0.

The White Wolves had 34% possession and seven shots in the match, with two attempts on target.

Before that disappointing performance, the Turanians lost 3-1 in their opening Group K match against Colombia.

The White Wolves have lost four of their last five fixtures, with one win. They scored two goals and conceded 12.

Uzbekistan can also reach the knockout rounds of the World Cup as a best third-placed finisher in the group stages if they beat DR Congo; however, their defence has been suspect, conceding eight goals in two matches.
