Uganda vs Congo Prediction: The Cranes will maintain their momentum here

Uganda will face off against Congo at the Nelson Mandela Stadium on Monday. The Cranes pulled off a surprise stunt against South Africa on the road, securing a crucial point in a very difficult match. They’ll be poised to maintain the momentum against Congo on a neutral ground tomorrow.

The Cranes have been in a rut lately; however, they head here with a solid display against South Africa on the road. All hopes seemed lost when they conceded fourteen minutes into the game. However, two world-class goals from Denis Omedi and Rogers Mato brought them back into the game until they conceded in the final few seconds of the game. The (2-2) stalemate on the road is a perfect start for Uganda who have not been at their best lately. 

 After failing to appear in the just concluded AFCON tournament, Uganda will hope to make adjustments this time. Coach Paul Pat has few options to pick from as most of his players play in lower leagues, contributing to their struggles in recent years.

The Red Devils secured their first three points this year, scoring once against South Sudan. They dominated the encounter and hit the post once to amass all the points. Congo's form have retrogressed over the years, and after a poor run in the AFCON Qualifier, Congo Brazzaville will try their luck this time. 

Congo have some top-quality players but have failed to work as a team in recent games. Congo's last appearance in the AFCON Qualifier earned them a third-place finish, securing seven points from a possible eighteen. 

Uganda have won once and drawn a game over their previous two meetings. Both teams have been underperforming lately, and Congo, despite having a decent squad, lack cohesion with no signs of improvement. Uganda will adjust their style of play and will bring in some talent from the bench. The changes will impact their game here, and we think they’ll dominate.

We expect an end-to-end game with goals on both ends; we bet on BTTS for 2.45.

This game will end in favor of Uganda, considering their performance against South Africa a few days ago.

Good luck!
