Uganda vs Algeria Prediction: The Desert Warriors to turn the tables in their favor

Uganda and Algeria will battle it out at the Mandela National Stadium in this game 4 World Cup qualifier in Group G. In the standings, both teams have the same points accumulated, 6 in three matches. Which team comes on top in this one?

Uganda

Uganda returned to winning ways against Botswana last time; in this game, they will hope to hit the ground running. In that game, Uganda had to wait until the 74th to get the lone goal, with Muhammad Shaban being the hero after striking from Denis Omedi’s pass. In the meantime, a look at this team’s last five matches reveals they also secured wins over Somalia, and Kuwait lost to Comoros while holding Ghana to a 2-2 draw.

Algeria

Algeria will look to bounce back to winning ways following a disappointing performance against Guinea last time out. In what was a tough encounter, the match ended goalless at halftime, and it was a 63rd-minute strike by Aguibou Camara that made the difference. Looking at Algeria's last matches, this side has now failed to step up, as they recorded just one win in their last six encounters, a 3-2 win over Bolivia. In other encounters, Algeria lost to Mauritania while they drew Angola, Burkina Faso, and South Africa. 

Expert Betting Tips

Uganda have been impressive lately, and following their last win against Botswana, they are now in a good position to fight for a spot in the 2026 World Cup. On the other hand, Algeria are the better side in terms of players' quality and level of play. However, I do not expect this side to have things go their way easily especially while on the road. With just one win in their last meetings, it is hard to imagine the road team not conceding a goal, but their squad expected to be the difference. Bet on the road team to win also.
