Congo DR Recent Form — Last 5
Uzbekistan Recent Form — Last 5
Key Factors
Congo DR's physical superiority and high-intensity pressing (PPDA) likely to overwhelm Uzbekistan's technical but physically outmatched midfield.
Uzbekistan's defensive fragility has been exposed, conceding 8 goals in two games with a moral-bruising 5-0 defeat to Portugal just days ago.
The match is played at the climate-controlled Mercedes-Benz Stadium, neutralizing external heat but favoring Congo DR's faster, counter-attacking transitions.
Injuries & Absentees
Congo DR has a nearly full-strength squad, with minor doubts over Rocky Bushiri. Uzbekistan, however, is severely hampered: key playmaker Jaloliddin Masharipov is out with a spinal injury, and defensive pillars Rustamjon Ashurmatov and Husniddin Alikulov are sidelined. This leaves Uzbekistan's already struggling backline even more exposed.
