The community is leaning towards the home side in the Full Time Result market. DR Congo to win has been picked by 57 of 84 users, and the current odds sit at 2.32. That tells you people expect a response, especially with Uzbekistan coming in on a four-match losing run. Still, DR Congo’s recent form is mixed (WDLDL), so this is not a free hit. Do you trust DR Congo to control the game with only 30% average possession, or do you just want the value on the price?

DR Congo Form Analysis: Can they keep it tight?

DR Congo come in with WDLDL, so it is not perfect, but it is steadier than their opponents. The numbers scream low output, though. They average 0.50 goals from 7.50 shots, with just 2.00 on target per match. They also concede only 1.00 per match, which suits a cautious game plan. A key bright spot is Yoane Wissa, who has 1 goal in 2 appearances. Over 2.5 goals has landed in 0% of their games in this sample, so they look built for a cagey result.

Uzbekistan Form Analysis: Can they stop the leaks?

Uzbekistan arrive in rough shape with DLLLL, and the defensive stats are a worry. They concede 4.00 goals per match, despite allowing a similar shot volume to DR Congo. They create just 0.50 goals per match from 7.00 shots, so the attack has not covered the problems at the back. Abbosbek Fayzullaev has 0 goals in 2 games, which sums up the lack of cutting edge. Oddly, their matches have gone over 2.5 goals 100% of the time here, but that looks driven by concessions rather than scoring power.

DR Congo vs Uzbekistan Stats

DR Congo vs Uzbekistan Odds - Home win shaded
