Korea DPR Preview: Without a win in five attempts

The pressure on Korea DPR, not to mention the need for a win is growing is a fifth group game passed without success. This time, they were beaten by IR Iran despite a valiant effort which saw them get two goals back after having fallen 0-3 behind at half time. But that’s now two points gained from a possible 15, leaving them five points adrift of fourth-place.

Uzbekistan Preview: Slip-up hands advantage to IR Iran

With IR Iran having overcome Korea DPR, Uzbekistan lost three points worth of ground of them in the Group A table after falling to a 3-2 defeat at the hands of Qatar thanks to a dramatic winning goal by the hosts in the 12th minute of second half stoppage time. This after Uzbekistan had worked so hard to come from two goals behind to draw level.

Key Stats

  • Korea DPR are without a win in their last five World Cup qualifying matches (D2 L3).
  • Uzbekistan have lost only one of the previous 11 international matches between these two teams (W8 D2).
  • Uzbekistan have won their last four international matches against Korea DPR.
  • Uzbekistan’s defeat against Qatar ended their ten-match unbeaten run in the 2026 qualifiers (W7 D3). A defeat here would see them lose successive World Cup qualifying matches for the first time since 2017.
  • Uzbekistan have only failed to score in three of their last 18 World Cup qualifying matches.

Korea DPR vs Uzbekistan Prediction

Whilst Uzbekistan may have lost their last game, they are still in a very good position and putting things right here at the first time of asking would be a crucial result from their perspective. Korea DPR desperately need a win themselves, which should lead to a brave and attacking playstyle from them. But that could end up playing into the hands of the visitors, who boast the stronger side on paper and are worth backing to come out on top.
