Prediction: 1-1
Botswana
Uganda play host to Botswana at their Nelson Mandela National Stadium in an eagerly-awaited World Cup qualifier. The Cranes have been having their ups and downs in 2024, with the team beating Kuwait, losing to Comoros, while sharing the spoils with Ghana. Uganda have a chance to climb to second place in Group G, but this match will be anything but a walk in the park for Paul Put’s troops.
The Zebras, on the other hand, aim to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Guinea. Beating Uganda in Kampala, though, is easier said than done and we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on draw. You should bear in mind that Botswana have drawn each of their last three games in all competitions. Defender Alford Velaphi is banned for the visitors due to the accumulation of yellow cards.
Highlighted Team (Uganda):
Uganda are an African football team that have yet to qualify for the FIFA World Cup finals. The Cranes struggle in the World Cup qualifiers, but they did well to make it to the Africa Cup of Nations finals in 1978.
Uganda outplayed Nigeria in the semi-finals of the tournament in Ghana, but the hosts proved to be a big catch for Peter Okee’s troops in the title game. You should bear in mind that the Uganda national football team made their first appearances at the African Cup of Nations back in 1962. The Cranes wear yellow shirts and black shorts when playing at home, while the colour of their away kit is white and black.
Uganda play their home games at Mandela National Stadium, the venue that was opened in 1997. The capacity of the stadium is 45,202. The likes of Almansi Kadogo, David Obua, Ibrahim Sekagya, Joel Kitamirike and Joseph Kizito are the most notable footballers who played for Uganda.
