<\/div>\n    <p class=\"mux-lineup-confidence\">Low confidence<\/p>\n<\/div><p class=\"mux-lineup-narrative\">A 4-3-3 against a 3-4-3 sets up an intriguing contest of width versus defensive solidity. Congo DR's probable shape sees <strong>Yoane Wissa<\/strong> and Nathanael Mbuku provide pace on the flanks, while Uzbekistan's back three will need to be disciplined in managing those wide channels throughout the match.<\/p><p class=\"mux-lineup-narrative\">It is worth treating Uzbekistan's shape with some caution: their XI is speculated from a single adjusted source rather than confirmed by multiple credible outlets, so the final structure could shift before kickoff. Congo DR's probable lineup carries greater confidence, giving the home side a clearer tactical picture heading into this World Cup group fixture.<\/p><div id=\"mux-odds-compare-ext\"

The Leopards sit top of Group K after holding Portugal, demonstrating defensive solidity and composure at this level. Uzbekistan, by contrast, have lost three of their last five, including a 3-1 defeat to Colombia.
