DR Congo’s World Cup fate will be decided when they take on Uzbekistan in their final Group K fixture on Saturday, with victory essential if they are to secure progression to the last 32 as one of the tournament’s best third-placed teams.
The Leopards enter the contest under pressure after suffering a narrow 1-0 defeat to Colombia in their previous outing. Despite a spirited display, Sebastien Desabre‘s side failed to find a breakthrough and now have no margin for error heading into their final group match.
Uzbekistan, meanwhile, will be looking to end their campaign on a positive note following a crushing 5-0 loss to Portugal. The White Wolves were overwhelmed by the European giants, with Cristiano Ronaldo playing a starring role as the Portuguese ran riot.
Both teams will be desperate to finish their World Cup journey on a high, but for DR Congo, the stakes are significantly higher as a place in the knockout rounds remains within reach.
