Korea DPR vs Uzbekistan Prediction and Betting Tips | November 19th 2024

Korea DPR will take on Uzbekistan at the New Laos National Stadium in Vientiane, Laos on Tuesday in the sixth round of the 2026 FIFA World Cup Asian qualifiers. The Samba of East Asia will be desperate to pick up at least a point to keep their hopes of qualification for the next group phase alive.

Korea DPR's 3-2 loss against Iran in their last game took their winless streak to seven games, leaving them at the bottom of Group A with only two points out of an obtainable 15. They will, however, hope to turn things around going into the return leg of the qualifiers as they make an effort to qualify for their first World Cup since 2010.

Uzbekistan will hope to bounce back from a 3-2 loss to Qatar in their last match and continue their remarkable qualifying campaign. The loss to the Maroons marked the end of an eight-game unbeaten run for the White Wolves of Uzbekistan who currently sit in second place in Group A, eight points clear of Tuesday's opponents.
