Group K at the 2026 World Cup sees DR Congo and Uzbekistan face off at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. With both sides struggling for cutting edge in the final third, with the Leopards scoring once in five World Cup games and the White Lions scoring one goal in their debut, a low-scoring affair could be on the cards, hence our prediction for less than 2.5 goals.
DR Congo's hopes of reaching the knockout stages are straightforward and clear: win their final round against Uzbekistan by a significant margin and boost their goal difference, hoping that results elsewhere go in their favour and finish as one of the eight best third-placed sides in the tournament.
Debutants Uzbekistan have had an underwhelming 2026 World Cup campaign and are one of eight teams yet to register a point. This has unfortunately resulted in their elimination with one game to spare after their recent setback against Portugal. The White Lions have nothing but pride left to play for heading into the final round of Group K.

DR Congo - Uzbekistan: Form Analysis
DR Congo had one of the best starts in the World Cup since a 52-year absence, holding a goal-shy Portugal to a 1-1 draw. Not only did Yoane Wissa score the country's first-ever goal at the World Cup, but it also marked the team's first point.
The result was a much-needed lift in confidence, but the Leopards failed to build on that momentum in the second round as they were left to rue missed chances against Colombia in a narrow 1-0 defeat.
They had a total of seven attempts at goal, with just one finding the target and created chances worth 0.37 expected goals (xG).
Uzbekistan has been eliminated, but there is still hope for the Central African nation to advance to the knockout stages!
Uzbekistan are debutants at the World Cup, and it's fair to say things haven't gone the way they would have hoped, having suffered back-to-back defeats, scoring just once.
This has left the Central Asian anchored at the bottom of Group K. Elimination from the competition was all but confirmed after a 5-0 defeat to Portugal at NRG Stadium, where Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice.
Yes, there's still a chance for the White Lions to finish third, but that won't see them advance to the knockout stages as one of the eight best third-placed sides due to their inferior goal difference and lack of points, leaving them with no realistic path to progression.

DR Congo & Uzbekistan Squad Analysis
With qualification to the knockout stages at the 2026 World Cup the most important objective for DR Congo at the moment, head coach Sebastien Desabre may opt for a similar lineup that was unfortunate to drop three points against Colombia on MD02.
Sunderland’s Noah Sadiki was introduced in the second half and impressed once again. The 21-year-old has brought composure to the midfield in the last two games when introduced, which has definitely made a strong case for a place in the starting XI.
Yoane Wissa is searching for his second World Cup goal for his country after his equaliser against Portugal in the opening round. The Newcastle United star will be hoping to make another impact with his intelligent runs. He will form a partnership with Cedric Bakambu up front.
Yoane Wissa is the all-time top goalscorer for DR Congo at the World Cup and is searching for his second!
Uzbekistan have been eliminated and have nothing but pride left to play for. Head coach Fabio Cannavaro will likely make some minor rotations to give fringe and younger players a chance to gain international experience.
However, the experienced Eldor Shomurodov is expected to retain his place up front as he searches to score the team's first goal in the tournament's history.

Our DR Congo vs Uzbekistan Prediction
DR Congo are favourite to secure a crucial win in the final round of Group K at the 2026 World Cup. However, the African nation has lacked the cutting edge in the final third at this tournament, scoring just once in their last five games and could struggle to score against the tournament's second-worst defence.
Uzbekistan may have the second-worst defensive record at the 2026 World Cup. There's a possibility they could avoid a heavy defeat against a side that has scored sparingly in this tournament. Our DR Congo vs Uzbekistan prediction: less than 2.5 goals.
