Uganda will host Kenya in the CAF World Cup Quals 5th round on Thursday afternoon. The home side will search for a victory to keep them in the top-spot battle, while the visitors look forward to their first win.
Uganda vs Kenya Match Preview & Team News
The hosts opened this World Cup Quals stage with two straight draws, but they celebrated in the following two matches. They are now only two points behind Mali, and The Cranes still have a chance to secure a ticket for the final tournament. Mico Sredojevic’s side has been very disciplined in the back so far, as they kept the clean sheet on all four occasions. On the other hand, Khalid Aucho and the lads scored only two goals in these qualifiers. Uganda needs a victory in this one to stay in the race for the top spot, and they will try to deliver it.
It has been a disappointing campaign for Kenya, as the away side still searches for the first victory. They picked up only two points and head to this match after two straight defeats. Engin Firat’s side conceded six goals in two encounters against Mali and failed to find the back of the opponent’s net. Kenya doesn’t have any chance to qualify for the final tournament in Qatar and only wants to improve its form. Eric Omondi and the lads also struggle in front of the rival’s goal, as they netted only once so far. Nevertheless, the visitors will search for a chance to break their winless streak.
Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction
This game is much more important for the hosts, as they could fight directly against Mali for the World Cup ticket. Although the pressure will be immense, Mico Sredojevic is an experienced head coach, and he should drive the hosts to a vital win.
Goals Market Prediction
Neither side has been productive in front of the opposition’s goal, while Uganda has been unbeatable in the back lately. Their last five encounters stayed under a 2.5 margin, and it shouldn’t be much different this time.
