On Tuesday, September 10, Kyrgyzstan will face Uzbekistan in the third round of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. The match will begin at 16:00 Central European Time, and Dailysports experts have prepared a forecast for this game.
Kyrgyzstan
During the second round of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, Kyrgyzstan played four matches, collecting 11 points, which was enough to secure second place in their group and advance to the next stage. Now, they find themselves in a very tough group alongside Iran, Qatar, UAE, Uzbekistan, and North Korea. In their first match, Kyrgyzstan faced Iran, who dominated the game and secured a narrow 1-0 victory.
Earlier this year, Kyrgyzstan participated in the Asian Cup but failed to perform well, earning only one point from three games and finishing last in their group. Historically, Kyrgyzstan has never qualified for the World Cup finals.
Uzbekistan
Uzbekistan had an excellent second round of qualifying, winning four matches and drawing one, amassing 14 points and finishing second in their group with a goal difference of 13:4. In the first match of the third round, Uzbekistan secured a 1-0 victory over North Korea.
In the 2024 Asian Cup, they collected five points in the group stage and advanced to the quarterfinals, where they lost in a penalty shootout to the eventual champions, Qatar. Since Uzbekistan’s independence in 1991, they have yet to qualify for a World Cup.
Interesting facts about the match and head-to-head history
- The last meeting between these teams ended with a 3-1 victory for Uzbekistan.
- Uzbekistan is unbeaten in 12 matches and has not lost in six consecutive away games.
Kyrgyzstan vs Uzbekistan prediction
Uzbekistan is the favorite in this match against Kyrgyzstan, despite playing away. They convincingly advanced through the second round and started the third round well. I expect Uzbekistan to secure a confident victory over Kyrgyzstan. My bet is on Uzbekistan’s individual total of over 1.5 goals, with odds of 1.74.
