Algeria vs Uganda Prediction & Betting Tips (14 October)

For this last day of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers in the Africa zone, Algeria welcomes Uganda.12 years after its last participation in a World Cup, Algeria will make its comeback for the next edition which will take place in 2026. Thanks to an almost faultless run during the qualifiers with only 1 defeat for 7 victories and 1 draw, the Fennecs definitively validated their ticket for the World Cup a few days ago. Facing an overwhelmed Somali team and last in the group, they delighted, well supported by a sparkling Ryad Mahrez 0-3. Guaranteed to finish at the top of this group G, they will approach this final meeting without the slightest pressure.

Opposite, Uganda still has a chance of qualifying. 2nd, 4 points behind their opponent of the day, the Cranes will have to hope to finish among the best runners-up to be able to play in the play-offs. They have also done everything to achieve this since they have 3 victories in a row in these qualifiers. After beating Mozambique 4-0 and Somalia 2-0 at home , they have just achieved an important success in Botswana 0-1.

The stakes couldn’t be higher for Uganda, who must win in Algiers to have a shot at qualifying as one of the best second-placed teams. Their recent form has been encouraging, with back-to-back wins and a renewed sense of belief. However, Algeria’s home record and attacking prowess present a daunting challenge. The Cranes will likely rely on set pieces and counterattacks, hoping to exploit any complacency from their already-qualified opponents. Meanwhile, Algeria may use this match to test fringe players, but their competitive spirit and home crowd advantage will ensure they don’t take Uganda lightly. The tactical battle between Petkovic and Put could be decisive.

As the final whistle approaches in Algiers, expect a tightly contested affair with moments of brilliance on both ends. Uganda’s urgency will push them forward, but Algeria’s quality in transition could prove lethal. While the Cranes may find the net through a well-worked set piece or a moment of individual skill, Algeria’s firepower—especially from Mahrez and Amoura—should be enough to edge the contest. Our prediction: a 2-1 victory for Algeria, a result that confirms their dominance in Group G while leaving Uganda’s fate hanging in the balance of other results across the continent.

• Summary: Algeria is going head to head with Uganda starting on 14 Oct 2025 at 16:00 UTC at Hocine Ait Ahmed Stadium stadium, Tizi Ouzou city, Algeria. The match is a part of the World Cup Qualification, CAF, Group G .
