LiontipsDR Congo - Uzbekistan: betting tip (cf 1.75) and bets on the World Cup match
Command Analysis
Current form
The national team started the World Cup with a draw with group favorite Portugal (1:1). It was a sensation, and now the Congolese have a chance to make it to the World Championship playoffs for the first time in history. Before the match with Colombia, Leopards head coach Sebastian Desabres acknowledged the class of the South Americans, but recalled the fighting spirit of his players after the goalless draw with the Portuguese. However, from the first minutes of the match, the Colombians seized the advantage, combined and created scoring chances one after another. But at halftime, the teams went 0-0 thanks to Congo goalkeeper Lionel Mpasi-Nzo, who performed real miracles in goal, not allowing the opponent to open the scoring. In the second half, the pattern of the game did not change, the coffee makers continued to escalate the situation and were able to score the only goal of the match. Thus, the Africans lost 0:1 in the end.

Current form
Uzbekistan made its World Cup debut with a 1-3 defeat to Colombia, which was expected. When the Uzbeks equalized, they most likely believed in themselves and paid for it with two goals conceded. In the second round, Fabio Cannavaro's team had to play with the equally formidable Portugal national team and, as in the first round, it was not worth waiting for a sensation. However, there were many expectations, but the reality of the Uzbeks failed. From the very first minutes of the game, the Asian national team gave the ball to the Portuguese, conceded five unanswered goals, and suffered a crushing defeat. Uzbekistan could not do anything, and the score 0:5 confirms that the class of the national team does not allow it to compete on equal terms with more powerful opponents, which include world-class players.

Tip and bets
The match against Uzbekistan is becoming crucial for the Congolese. The national team of DR Congo adequately played two opening matches at the tournament. In the first round, the leopards created a real sensation, holding off the onslaught of Portugal, while losing minimally to the South Americans. Head coach Sebastian Desabres admitted that after losing to Colombia, his team will now have to take risks and open up, as a draw will not be enough to qualify for the 1/16 finals. The tournament position and the caliber of the opponent will force the leopards to act as the first number against. The skill of the Africans is higher, and the coaching staff will choose pressure rather than wait-and-see tactics with an emphasis on counterattacks.
DR Congo will act in an organized manner, will definitely take advantage from the first minutes and take advantage of the uncertain defensive play of Cannavaro's players – they conceded eight goals in two matches at the tournament. The bookmakers make the leopards the favorite and give a good odds on the victory of the African national team, which we will bet on.
Betting Tip – DR Congo wins with a coefficient of 1.75
Bet on the total
DR Congo plays defense in an organized manner, the national team conceded only two goals at the world Championship from formidable favorites Portugal and Colombia. It should be noted that in five of the last six matches of the African national team, no more than two goals were scored, which indicates a good option for betting on the grassroots total. We can assume that the scoring extravaganza in Atlanta will not take place.
The betting tip is a total of less than 2.5 goals with a coefficient of 1.90
Betting on corners
DR Congo is likely to rely on ball control and will play number one, as only a victory can take Desabre's players to the playoff round. It should be noted that in the last two games of the African national team, nine corners were served at the tournament. We expect that there will be no fewer of them today.
The betting tip is that the total number of corners is more than 8.5 with a coefficient of 1.80
