Despite Botswana's commendable performances, they are out of the running, while Uganda is pressing for victory after winning their last two matches to nil. With 15 points, Uganda is tied with Mozambique and must secure a win before their challenging match in Algeria. The article suggests Uganda is likely to win, supported by their recent form and urgency to qualify.

Botswana vs Uganda Predictions


Uganda will have a lot more urgency in this game as it is simply a must-win for them. Should they get over the line, the World Cup will not be far away. I am backing the visitors to get the victory with BTTS.

  • Botswana have lost their last 2 World Cup qualifying matches.
  • Uganda have won their last 2 World Cup qualifying matches to nil.
  • Uganda have scored 6 goals in their last 2 World Cup qualifying matches.

Head to Head


Uganda beat Botswana 1-0 at home when these sides last met in June 2024.

Botswana Form


Botswana are out of the running for qualification although they have had some good performances in the World Cup qualification group. They are currently fifth in Group G, six points off second and third with two games to play.

However, Botswana have won three of their eight matches, all of which game in their last five outings. In their September qualifiers, Botswana lost 3-1 in Algeria before going 2-0 down in Mozambique four days later.

They required at least one win from those two fixtures to keep their qualification hopes alive.

Uganda Form


Uganda have had a very strong qualification round thus far, winning five of their eight matches. They are in second place with 15 points, ahead of Mozambique on goal difference. Algeria, who are top, have 19 points and are unlikely to be caught.

With the battle for second place on the go, this is simply a must-win for Uganda. They have to travel to Algeria next week, so taking three points here will go a long way to securing second place.

In September, Uganda won both of their qualification games to nil. They beat rivals for second place, Mozambique 4-0 at home before seeing off Somalia 2-0 at home.

Verdict

I am backing BTTS in this match with Uganda ultimately coming up with the win. 2-1 is by correct score tip.
