DR Congo vs Uzbekistan Match Preview
DR Congo and Uzbekistan meet at Atlanta Stadium on June 27 in the final round of 2026 World Cup Group K fixtures, with both nations facing elimination if results go against them.
The Leopards arrive at this match on one point after a hard-fought draw with Portugal on Matchday 1 was followed by a 1-0 defeat to Colombia. Daniel Muñoz's 76th-minute strike proved the difference in Guadalajara, leaving Sébastien Desabre's side needing a win to keep their knockout-round hopes alive.
Uzbekistan's situation is more severe. Fabio Cannavaro's White Wolves were beaten 5-0 by Portugal on Matchday 2, a result that followed a 3-1 loss to Colombia in their opener. They sit bottom of Group K on zero points and a -7 goal difference, and only a win will do.
The Portuguese performance that ended Uzbekistan's realistic hopes of topping the group was built around Cristiano Ronaldo, who scored twice after enduring a difficult week of public scrutiny following the opening draw. Cannavaro, who watched his side concede five, has spoken warmly of Ronaldo's longevity since that defeat.
For DR Congo, the calculus is straightforward. A win moves them to four points and keeps alive a potential path to the Round of 32, either as group runners-up or through the wild-card standings. A draw or defeat almost certainly ends their tournament.

Form
DR Congo have won one, drawn two, and lost two of their last five matches. Their most recent result was a 1-0 defeat to Colombia in the World Cup group stage on June 24, a narrow loss decided by a single second-half strike. Before that, they drew 1-1 with Portugal on Matchday 1, a point earned against one of the tournament's stronger sides. Earlier in the sequence, a 1-2 friendly defeat to Chile was sandwiched between a goalless draw with Denmark and a 1-0 World Cup qualifying win over Jamaica. Across those five matches, DR Congo have scored three goals and conceded four.
Uzbekistan's recent record makes for difficult reading. Cannavaro's side have lost four of their last five, with the 5-0 defeat to Portugal on June 23 the heaviest blow of the run. A 3-1 loss to Colombia in their opening group game preceded that result, and earlier friendlies against the Netherlands and Canada also ended in defeat. Their sole positive result across the five matches was a goalless draw with Venezuela in March. Uzbekistan have scored just one goal in their last four matches, conceding eleven.
