Zimbabwe have failed to win their last three games, while their qualifying campaign for this tournament was far from stellar. They claimed only two victories from their final five games, losing 1-0 at Liberia in November. Meanwhile, Uganda had their place at the tournament wrapped up with a game to spare after winning four of their first five matches. Given that form building up to this tournament, they are a side to watch this summer.
Uganda pulled off another big result ahead of the tournament, as they beat Ivory Coast 1-0 earlier this month. That was followed by their opening win over DR Congo, which leaves us expecting a lot from the Cranes in this clash. We see them beating a Zimbabwe side who have lost their last three games at the Africa Cup of Nations. Uganda to win is well priced ahead of this clash, while it’s our tip for Wednesday’s encounter.
Uganda were able to get their Africa Cup of Nations campaign off to a fine start, claiming a 2-0 victory over DR Congo in the opening weekend. With as many as three sides potentially going through from this group, that’s left the Ugandans in a strong position ahead of this midweek clash with Zimbabwe. They come into the game as favourites, while they know another victory would see them ease into the next round with a round to spare. Can Uganda get themselves into the last 16?
It would be Uganda’s first game past the group stage in the Africa Cup of Nations since 1978 were they to win this clash. Uganda were runners-up in Ghana that year, but they weren’t able to return until 2017 when they left the competition at the group stage. With a win to their name Uganda have already outstripped their display in 2017, but can they kick on from here and record back to back victories in Egypt?
