Uganda Form

Uganda pulled off a shock victory in their friendly international against DR Congo last weekend, winning by two goals to nil.

Before that result, the Cranes contested two Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Tunisia and Libya, drawing 1-1 and winning 1-0, respectively.

The team from East Africa have won two of their last five fixtures, with one defeat and two draws. They scored six goals and conceded five.

DR Congo Form

In September, La Céleste achieved back-to-back success in their AFCON qualifiers, beating Equatorial Guinea 2-0 and Zimbabwe 2-1.

Guerriers de l'Équateur have secured three victories in their last five fixtures, with two defeats. They scored eight goals and conceded six.
