Congo Rallies to a 3-1 Win Against Uzbekistan to Seal Place in the World Cup Knockouts
DR Congo are favorites after a draw with Portugal, while Uzbekistan need a big win to improve a poor goal difference.
- On Saturday, DR Congo faces Uzbekistan at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, with the Leopards needing victory to secure a potential knockout-stage spot as one of the best third-placed teams.
- Both teams aim to progress to the knockout phase for the first time in their history. The Leopards showed defensive resilience in their 1-1 draw with Portugal and narrow 1-0 loss to Colombia.
- Desabre may switch to a 4-3-3 formation to increase attacking impetus. The Leopards' defense restricted Portugal to 0.65 expected goals and Colombia to 0.98 xG.
- Fabio Cannavaro will demand improvements from the White Wolves, though the team has won none of its last five matches. Uzbekistan needs a significant victory to overcome a dismal goal difference.
- As both sides vie to make history in their first-ever meeting, DR Congo looks primed to inflict a third successive defeat on the Italian side. Prediction models suggest a 1-0 victory for the African side.
