DR Congo vs Uzbekistan Preview

Qualification from Group K hangs by a thread for both DR Congo and Uzbekistan and they prepare to meet here.

Uzbekistan know a win would see them sneak into third place, but they will need a hefty win to overturn their poor goal difference.

DR Congo meanwhile are in a position to accrue four points, having already picked up a point against Portugal and they should have some self-belief coming into this one.

Neither side was expected to do too much damage, in a group that houses Portugal and Colombia, but they have both had their moments in the tournament so far.

Reaching the last 32 would be a huge achievement for both of these teams, on their World Cup debuts and this could be an entertaining clash.

Here is a look ahead to DR Congo vs Uzbekistan:

In both of their games so far, DR Congo have been mightily impressive, particularly in terms of their defensive shape.

Holding Portugal to a draw and only being narrowly beaten by Colombia was huge for DR Congo but this is a completely different type of game for them.

There will be an expectation and pressure upon them to play on the front foot here, but they do have some decent attacking options.

Uzbekistan have struggled to cope with the speed and power of both Colombia and Portugal, and they will need to improve significantly here.

DR Congo have something to play for here and they should manage to get over the line.

In each of their games, Uzbekistan have struggled at the back, and they could get exposed once again here.

DR Congo were very organised against Portugal and Colombia, but they should see the benefit in letting the handbrake off here.

Neither side can really afford to sit back and see what happens and with a third place spot on the line, this could be a bit of a goal fest.

Picking a winner isn’t easy but DR Congo should get over the line here.

Best Value Bet

Yoann Wissa to score anytime @ $3.20

Newcastle United striker Yoann Wissa has struggled for his club this season but his goal against Portugal set him on his way for the tournament.

He is a true poacher and if Uzbekistan are a bit open at the back, he will be eager to make them pay and add to his goal tally.

DR Congo will need him to contribute if they are to progress from the group and he will be desperate to lead the line strongly and bag here.
