A poster with the appearance of a quit or double, between two nations who want to hang on to the head wagon ... or may drop out for good!4th with 9 points on the clock, Uganda plays big in front of its audience! A victory and the cranes would return to their opponent of the day, 2nd of the group. But so far, the Ugandan route remains mixed: 3 victories, 3 defeats, 6 goals scored, 7 conceded. A balanced team ... sometimes too much. Offensively, this is the minimum service, and defensively, the armor cracks regularly. At home, Uganda will have to be more sharp, more biting, if it really wants to weigh in the scale. Because this match could well be a turning point in its campaign!The Mozambique, it advances masked ... but surely not discreet! With 10 goals scored in 6 games, the Mambas have responding in front.

But their Achilles heel is obvious: a defense that tanks, which often breaks, with already 11 goals conceded ... A fire attack ... in a defense on fire! Their journey? An emotional elevator ... They had dominated Uganda in the go 3-1 and signed convincing victories against Somalia, Botswana and Guinea. But their last match turned to the debacle against the Algerian Fennecs with a 5-1 defeat ... false alert or a real brake? Answer from 6 p.m.!

Uganda’s home form has been a beacon of hope, with four wins in their last five matches on home soil, including a gritty 1-0 victory over Guinea . The return of experienced internationals like Joseph Mpande and Jordan Obita adds depth and leadership to a squad that blends local talent with overseas experience. The midfield trio of Travis Mutyaba, Kenneth Semakula, and Ronald Ssekiganda will be crucial in controlling the tempo and disrupting Mozambique’s rhythm. With the Cranes eager to avenge their 3-1 defeat in the reverse fixture, expect a more aggressive and calculated approach this time around.

Mozambique, despite their recent setbacks, have the firepower to trouble Uganda’s defense. Their ability to strike late, as seen in previous qualifiers, makes them dangerous until the final whistle. However, Uganda’s renewed squad and home advantage could tilt the balance. With both teams hungry for points and the stakes higher than ever, a tightly contested match is expected. Uganda’s tactical discipline and attacking edge should see them edge past the Mambas with a 2-1 victory, keeping their World Cup dream alive and injecting fresh momentum into their campaign.
