Niger came up short in their opening Group C match against Guinea last week, losing by a goal to nil.

Niger had moments to score during both halves of the contest, but their finishing let them down.

Niger had 47% possession and eight shots during the game, with one attempt on target.

Before that loss, Niger defeated Gabon 4-3 and drew 1-1 against Zimbabwe and 0-0 against the Central African Republic in three international friendlies between June and July.

The Mena have secured one victory in their last five fixtures, including two losses and two draws. They scored six goals and let in nine at the back.

Niger must produce a clinical performance up front if they want to come away with all three points when they take on a Ugandan side that played well in their previous match.
