Uganda and Libya meet in a key Group H AFCON qualifier, with both teams coming off recent draws in their opening matches. Uganda has been solid at home, winning three of their last five, while Libya tends to draw away fixtures. The teams have a history of close encounters, with Libya holding a slight edge in head-to-heads. Given their current form and tendency for draws, a 1-1 BTTS result is predicted, reflecting the evenly matched nature of this fixture.

Uganda vs Libya Predictions


Uganda secured a draw in their opening Africa Cup of Nations qualifier and have been in decent nick at home recently. Libya left it late to secure a point in their first match and tend to draw their matches. A BTTS draw is predicted between the two nations.

  • Uganda have won 3 of their last 5 home fixtures.
  • Uganda have scored 5 goals in 5 home games.
  • Uganda have conceded 4 goals in 5 home matches.
  • Libya have drawn 3 of their last 5 away fixtures.
  • Libya have scored 3 goals in 5 away games.
  • Libya have conceded 2 goals in 5 away matches.

Head to Head


Libya have the advantage over Uganda, with two victories to none, including two draws in four meetings.  

Uganda Form 


Uganda pocketed a point for their efforts in their opening Group H AFCON qualifier last week, drawing 1-1 with Tunisia away from home. 

The Cranes had 45% possession and nine shots in the match, with three attempts on target.

Uganda was supposed to play five international friendlies between March and June, but they were cancelled due to public health safety concerns. 

The team from East Africa have lost three of their last five fixtures, with two draws. They scored four goals and conceded 12.

The Cranes have won three of their last five fixtures, with two defeats. They scored five goals and conceded four.

Uganda will be happy to have come away with a draw in their opening AFCON qualifier, and have the home-ground advantage for the clash against Libya, although their opponents have not lost many matches in recent outings.

Libya Form 


Libya came from two goals down to secure a draw in their opening Africa Cup of Nations Group H qualifier last week, drawing 2-2 with Botswana at home.

The Mediterranean Knights had 71% possession and 24 shots in the game, with seven attempts on target.

Before that result, the team from North Africa played two friendlies in March, drawing 0-0 with Niger and 2-2 with Liberia. 

Libya have registered one victory in their last five matches, with one defeat and three draws. They scored five goals and conceded four. 

The Mediterranean Knights have won one of their last five away fixtures, with one defeat and three draws. They have scored three goals and conceded two.

Libya had to make a comeback to salvage something from their first Africa Cup of Nations Group H qualifier, and will have to produce a clinical performance to secure a winning result against Uganda, as they have drawn five of their last seven games.
