South Africa vs Uganda Preview
South Africa
South Africa will open their African Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualification process on Friday when they welcome Uganda to Orlando Stadium in Soweto for the opening match in Group K.
Bafana Bafana will go into the clash against Uganda in a good run of form. The last time South Africa lost a football match was back in January in the African Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast, against Mali in a 2-0 score line. They have gone 13 matches without losing in regulation time since.
In their last five outings, Bafana Bafana have won two times and drawn three times. The wins came in the 3-1 triumph over Zimbabwe and the 1-0 win over Eswatini last time out. The three draws came against Nigeria (1-1), Mozambique (1-1), and Botswana (0-0).
South Africa have managed two clean sheets in this run of five matches and conceded three goals in the process while scoring six times.
Our football predictions analysis forecasts that Bafana Bafana will look to extend their unbeaten run on Friday as they bid to make a winning start to their Group K AFCON qualifying campaign.
Uganda
Uganda will look to get something from the trip to Soweto for the opening round of their Group K AFCON qualifying campaign.
Last time out, Uganda were on the receiving end of a 1-2 defeat against Algeria in a Group G World Cup qualifier at the Mandela National Stadium. Goals by Houssem Aouar in the 46th minute and Said Benrahma in the 58th minute completed a come-from-behind win for the visitors, after Jamal Mutyaba had put Uganda in front in the 10th minute.
In their last five matches, the Uganda Cranes have won twice, drawn once, and lost two times in the process. The wins came against Kuwait (0-2) and Botswana (1-0); they drew against Ghana (2-2) and lost to Comoros (4-0) and Algeria (1-2).
Uganda have kept two clean sheets in this run of matches, conceding eight times and scoring six times. Our expert soccer predictions show that the Cranes must improve their balance between the defensive phase and their attacking play to have the robustness they need when they face South Africa that have shown a significant cutting edge.
