D.R. Congo vs Uzbekistan Head-to-Head: Record, Stats & Form (Updated June 2026)

The D.R. Congo vs Uzbekistan head-to-head is a genuinely fresh one: the two sides meet for the first time on record when they face off at the FIFA World Cup 2026 on 27 June 2026. D.R. Congo come in ranked 47th in the world, holding a narrow edge over Uzbekistan, who sit at 58th, though recent form tells a more complicated story for both nations.

Head-to-Head Record

There are no recorded meetings between D.R. Congo and Uzbekistan in international football. The two nations have not previously crossed paths at a major tournament or in any documented friendly, making this World Cup 2026 fixture a genuine first encounter. With no shared history to draw on, recent form and tournament context carry all the analytical weight here.

D.R. Congo: Recent Form

D.R. Congo’s last six matches — spanning their World Cup group-stage campaign and pre-tournament friendlies — read W D D L D L (oldest to most recent). They have collected 1 win, 3 draws and 2 losses across those six outings, scoring 4 goals and conceding 4, for averages of 0.67 goals for and 0.67 against per match. Their points-per-game rate stands at 1.0 — exactly a draw a game on average. Defensively, the Congolese have been disciplined on three occasions, keeping 3 clean sheets in six matches, though they have also failed to score in three of those fixtures, highlighting an inconsistency in front of goal. Their most recent outing was a 0-1 defeat to Colombia (away, 24 June), following a creditable 1-1 draw with Portugal (away, 17 June) and a 1-2 home loss to Chile (9 June).

Uzbekistan: Recent Form

Uzbekistan’s recent record makes for difficult reading: their last six matches show 1 win, 1 draw and 4 losses, a sequence that reads W D L L L L from oldest to most recent. They have scored 5 goals in that run but conceded 13, producing averages of 0.83 goals for and 2.17 goals against per match — a defensive record that stands out sharply. Their points-per-game rate of 0.67 is the lower of the two sides here. Uzbekistan have kept just 1 clean sheet in six matches and have failed to score in three of them.
