PREDICTION

Uganda pulled off a surprising 1-0 victory over Botswana in their most recent 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier at the Mandela National Stadium. This result means Uganda have now suffered just one defeat in their last five matches. They now face an evolving Algerian side, one of the stronger teams on the continent, currently topping Group G on goal difference ahead of Uganda, Mozambique, and Guinea. However, Algeria were recently upset by a 2-1 defeat to Guinea at Stade Nelson Mandela. Despite their strong squad, Algeria has not been as fluent as expected, so a low-scoring encounter with under 3.5 or even under 2.5 goals seems a likely outcome.
