DR Congo vs Uzbekistan prediction talk starts with history. DR Congo are back at the World Cup for the first time since 1974, when they played as Zaire. Uzbekistan, meanwhile, are here for the first time ever. DR Congo have the deeper major-tournament past, especially through AFCON, while Uzbekistan have grown into a steady Asian side. This Group K game kicks off at 12:30am on Sunday 28 June 2026 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta.
DR Congo have a strong spine. Chancel Mbemba, now with Lille, leads the defence. Aaron Wan-Bissaka of West Ham gives them real one-v-one quality at full-back, while Yoane Wissa, now with Newcastle, adds sharp movement in attack. Cedric Bakambu of Real Betis brings experience and should be one of their main penalty candidates, though set-piece duties can change.
Uzbekistan’s big name is Abdukodir Khusanov of Manchester City. He gives them pace, power and calm at the back. Eldor Shomurodov, with Istanbul Basaksehir, remains their key forward and likely senior option for penalties or direct attacking set-pieces.
DR Congo likely XI: Mpasi, Wan-Bissaka, Mbemba, Tuanzebe, Masuaku, Pickel, Sadiki, Bongonda, Wissa, Elia, Bakambu.
Uzbekistan likely XI: Yusupov, Khusanov, Ashurmatov, Nasrullaev, Alijonov, Shukurov, Hamrobekov, Urunov, Ganiev, Shomurodov, Sergeev.
This feels tight. DR Congo have more physical edge and more players used to top European football, but Uzbekistan have shown they can stay compact and frustrate teams.
A cautious angle makes sense. DR Congo draw no bet feels like the safer lean, while those looking at wider match markets can compare ideas with todays football tips.
DR Congo may just have the stronger match-winners. Wissa, Bakambu and Bongonda give them options in attack, and Mbemba’s leadership matters in a game like this.
Uzbekistan will not roll over, though. Their World Cup debut story gives them energy, and Cannavaro’s side should be hard to break down.
Match Prediction: DR Congo to win. Bet with bet365.
A low-scoring game looks likely. DR Congo have the better attacking variety, but Uzbekistan’s defence, led by Khusanov, should keep them in it.
Correct Score Prediction: DR Congo 1-0 Uzbekistan. Bet with bet365.
Under 2.5 goals looks sensible. Both teams have plenty at stake, and neither will want to open the game too early.
Over/Under Prediction: Under 2.5 Goals. Bet with bet365.
A simple bet builder idea would be:
DR Congo double chance
Under 3.5 goals
Yoane Wissa to have a shot on target
Nothing too wild. This looks like a game for patience.
Bet Builder Tip: DR Congo double chance, under 3.5 goals, and Yoane Wissa to have a shot on target. Bet with bet365.
