Uganda vs South Africa Predictions


Both of these countries have already qualified and there is nothing to play for in Kampala. South Africa have enough quality to leave with a point. I’m backing BTTS Yes in a draw.

Head to Head


South Africa hold a 3-0 advantage across five previous meetings with two draws. 

The sides last met in September as the reverse fixture finished in a 2-2 draw.

Uganda Form


Uganda have qualified for the next AFCON with two matches to spare. In June’s World Cup qualifying, they won 1-0 at home to Botswana and lost 2-1 to Algeria.

Their opening AFCON qualifier saw a 95th minute goal leaked to draw 2-2 in South Africa. Three wins have followed to secure their qualification. 

They beat Congo 2-0 and South Sudan 1-0 in Uganda. Last time out, they won 2-1 in South Sudan to secure qualification as other results went their way. 

Uganda Injuries & Team News


Cranes coach Paul Put has no big names or big egos. Most of his players are based in lesser leagues whilst goalkeeper Ismail Watenga plays in South Africa. 

Denis Omedi has scored two goals from his attacking midfield role in qualifying. He will be key in this clash.

South Africa Form


Bafana Bafana have reached the next AFCON. With six points from four matches, they can no longer be caught by the third-placed team. 

Qualifying began with a last-gasp equaliser to rescue a 2-2 home draw vs Uganda. Another 95th minute goal sealed a 3-2 win at South Sudan. 

After smashing Congo 5-0 at home, they had a tougher time in the away leg. A 1-1 draw was a steady result in the end.
