Group K wraps up with DR Congo taking on Uzbekistan at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, and the stakes could not be more lopsided.

The Leopards need a win (and ideally a big one) to have any shot at sneaking through as one of the best third-placed sides. Uzbekistan, already eliminated after shipping eight goals in two matches, are playing for nothing but pride.

To celebrate the momentous occasion that is the World Cup, Sportsbet is bringing back its exclusive Super Sub feature!

How does Super Sub work? Well, it’s very simple. Place a bet on select player markets throughout the Men’s World Cup and if that player is subbed off your bet rolls over to the new player that replaced them.

For example, if you’ve bet on Kylian Mbappe to score during one of France’s matches and during that match he fails to do so and is directly substituted for Jean-Philippe Mateta who ends up scoring instead, your original bet on Mbappe is paid as a winner!

Super Sub is not exclusive to goalscoring markets either, it also applies to anytime assist, player to win one or more fouls, shots on target and more, just make sure to read all the T&Cs before locking in your bet.

DR Congo vs Uzbekistan prediction

DR Congo win this and win it well. That is the call.

Everything points in one direction. The Leopards are fully fit, desperate for a result, and have looked genuinely competitive against two of the tournament's heavyweights.

Uzbekistan have conceded goals for fun, looked shell-shocked against Portugal, and their coaching staff are likely to rotate the squad with nothing on the line. Motivation is everything in dead-rubber scenarios, and only one side has it.

Better still, DR Congo will be pushing for goals from the opening whistle. A narrow 1-0 might not be enough on goal difference, so expect Sebastien Desabre to set his side up on the front foot.

With Uzbekistan's defence leaking like a sieve — eight conceded in 180 minutes tells you everything — goals are coming.

As our Democratic Republic of the Congo vs Uzbekistan betting odds page shows, the markets favour the Leopards, so back DR Congo on the match result and over 2.5 goals in total. Uzbekistan have shown zero capacity to keep things tight at this level, and the Leopards have every reason to pile on.

If you fancy stacking this one with other group games, it's worth getting your head around how a multi bet works first, and the World Cup betting markets are all there to compare before you lock anything in.

Player markets to watch

Our pick: Yoane Wissa to score anytime.

The Newcastle United forward has been DR Congo's best attacking weapon at this World Cup, netting a superb equaliser against Portugal on Matchday 1.

He is sharp, confident, and will be the focal point of an attack that needs to chase a healthy margin. Against the worst defence in the group, Wissa looks a strong candidate to find the net again.

Our pick: Cedric Bakambu to score anytime.

With 21 international goals to his name, Bakambu is DR Congo's most experienced striker and could benefit from a more open match.

If the Leopards get on top early and Uzbekistan's shape falls apart (as it did against Portugal) Bakambu will be lurking for chances in and around the box.

Our pick: Abbosbek Fayzullaev to score anytime.

He bagged Uzbekistan's only World Cup goal against Colombia and remains their most likely source of a consolation.

Even in a match they are expected to lose, Fayzullaev has shown he can produce a moment of quality. Worth a look at longer odds for punters chasing value in the goalscorer markets.
