Uganda

FIFA ranking: 95th place

The last five games: LDWLD

The Cranes have been in a slump of late but they come here on the back of a solid performance away against South Africa. All hope seemed lost when they conceded after fourteen minutes. However, two world-class goals from Denis Omedi and Rogers Mato brought them back into the game until they conceded in the dying seconds of the game. The (2-2) away draw is a perfect start for Uganda who have not been at their best of late.

After failing to compete in the just-concluded AFCON tournament, Uganda will be hoping to make adjustments this time around. Coach Paul Pat has few options to choose from as most of his players play in lower leagues, which has contributed to their struggles in recent years.

Congo

FIFA ranking: 118th place

Last five games: DLDLW

The Red Devils secured their first three points of the year by scoring once against South Sudan. They dominated the encounter and hit the post once to claim all the points. Congo's form has dipped over the years and after a poor run in AFCON qualification, Congo-Brazzaville will be looking to try their luck this time around.

Congo boasts some quality players but has not been able to function as a team in recent matches. Congo's last appearance in the AFCON qualifiers saw the team finish third, securing seven points out of a possible eighteen.

Expert betting tips

Uganda have won once and drawn once in their last two encounters. Both teams have been underperforming recently and Congo, despite having a decent squad, lack cohesion and show no signs of improvement. Uganda will adjust their style of play and bring in some talent from the bench. The changes will impact their game here and we believe they will dominate.

We expect a balanced game with goals on both sides and bet on BTTS for 2.45.

Given Uganda's performance against South Africa a few days ago, this match will go in Uganda's favour.

Good luck!
