Tactical Matchup: Sébastien Desabre’s 'Leopards' excel in a compact mid-block with rapid transitions through Yoane Wissa and Meschak Elia, which directly exploits the defensive instability shown by Fabio Cannavaro’s Uzbekistan side.

Referee Impact: Felix Zwayer (Germany) is known for being authoritative in high-stakes matches; given the physical nature of Congo DR’s play, the Congolese must manage their aggression to avoid card trouble.

Injuries & Absentees

Congo DR is missing defender Rocky Bushiri (injured pre-tournament, replaced by Aaron Tshibola), but the core of the defense (Mbemba, Wan-Bissaka) remains intact and fit. Uzbekistan has no fresh injury concerns but may see rotation from Cannavaro following the 5-0 demoralizing loss to Portugal to address defensive fragility.
