Top Congo DR vs. Uzbekistan predictions

After examining Congo DR vs. Uzbekistan from every angle, Green is leaning Under 2.5 total goals (-152). Neither side are expected to light up the scoreboard, but DR Congo have scored two goals or less in each of their last seven matches. Uzbekistan, meanwhile, have scored one or fewer goals in each of their last five.

"[Uzbekistan] will be up against a strong DR Congo defense that only conceded once against Portugal and once against Colombia," Green said. "Axel Tuanzebe, Chancel Mbemba, and Aaron Wan-Bissaka are all dogged defenders, so they could snuff out the threat that Fayzullaev and Shomurodov pose." See Green's best bets for Congo DR vs. Uzbekistan at SportsLine, and you can bet the Under in Congo DR vs. Uzbekistan at FanDuel here:
