Uganda is starting to show signs of life after several disappointing qualification cycles for major tournaments. Now, they are on the verge of securing a spot in AFCON. They only need 1 more point to confirm it, with a solid 6-point lead over Congo. After home and away wins against South Sudan, they’ve pretty much settled the issue, and Uganda can finally test themselves on the continental stage.
South Africa, by reputation, was the favorite in this group before it started, but they failed to beat Uganda at home in their first meeting, which is why they’re sitting in 2nd place with 8 points. They, too, probably need just a point to secure their place in the final tournament. However, given the quality of their squad, South Africa will likely go all out for the win and top spot.
Uganda vs South Africa pick: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE
Both teams have shown they can score. Uganda has 7 goals so far, and South Africa has scored 11. Their first meeting ended in a 2-2 draw, and if we look back at their head-to-head history, three of their past games also saw both teams score. This could be a pretty open game without too much tactical caution, making a BTTS bet a solid option.
