Match Preview

Anticipation is building as the two sides prepare to meet again, nearly a year after their previous encounter in the same competition — a match Uganda narrowly won 1-0. Botswana enter this fixture in search of redemption, but their recent form has been worrying. They head into this clash following consecutive defeats to Mozambique and Algeria, extending their winless run to four matches. Defensive discipline will be key for the Zebras, who have conceded in each of their last three outings.

Uganda, on the other hand, approach this match in strong form, buoyed by back-to-back victories over Somalia and Mozambique. The Cranes will look to maintain their winning momentum as they aim to solidify their position in the group.
