Prediction for the Uzbekistan vs North Korea match which will take place on September 4th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Uzbekistan's national team performed superbly in the second qualifying stage for the 2026 World Cup. They finished second in Group E with 14 points, earning them a place in the third qualifying round. The Uzbeks last played in June, when they beat Turkmenistan 3:1 and drew 0:0 with Iran.

North Korea also succeeded in the second round qualifying for the 2026 World Cup. The Koreans finished second in Group B on nine points, two ahead of third-placed Syria. Only Japan fared better, but the important thing for North Korea is that they are in the third round. The Koreans played two friendlies in August, drawing 0:0 with Jordan and losing 2:1 to Jordan.

We think Uzbekistan will be the stronger in this meeting. There is a big difference in class, and the game will be played in Tashkent, where the home team will benefit from their stands. We don't believe North Korea can win away from home. We don't even expect them to score a goal.
