Uganda vs Mozambique: Prediction and odds on the Match on 05 September 2025

Uganda will face off against Mozambique in Friday's seventh round of the FIFA World Cup at the Nelson Mandela Stadium. The Cranes pulled off a surprise victory over Congo in their most recent game, securing a crucial point in a very difficult match. They’ll be poised to maintain the momentum against a very dangerous Mozambique side tomorrow.

The Cranes have been inconsistent in this competition, although they have won three of their previous three games. More recently, they pulled off a convincing win over Congo on their home ground. The match started off pretty well, and after thirty-eight minutes of play, Allan Okello found the back of the net. The Vipers' man only goal ensured they secured the maximum points after their back-to-back losses against Algeria and Mozambique.

Since then, Uganda have played five friendly games and managed just a win. After qualifying for the forthcoming FCON tournament in Morocco, Uganda will hope to make some adjustments and get their players to work together as a team.

Coach Paul Pat has few options to pick from as most of his players play in lower leagues, contributing to their struggles in recent years. 

Uganda presently sit in third place on the log, picking up nine points from a possible eighteen. 

Uganda Lineup

Paul Put have invited some experienced players for this encounter, with eleven players from the local leagues. Surprisingly, Uchechukwu Ipkeazu has been named in the provisional squad for this encounter. 

Uganda Potential Lineup (4-3-3)

Allionzi—Bwomono, Mugabi, Capradossi, Kayondo—Semakula, Mutyaba, Ssikganda—Okello, Shaban, Mato 

Head coach: Paul Put

Chiquinho Conde's men's hope of playing in the World Cup was interrupted following their loss against Algeria. They began the game against Algeria in high gear; unfortunately, Mozambique were stunned three times when they conceded three goals at the break. Just before the end of the break, Catamo pulled one back. The second half started in a similar fashion as Algeria scored two more times to record a victory (5-1) over Mozambique. 

The Mambas who have lost just two games in the ongoing FIFA World Cup qualifiers, will be keen to make adjustments. 

Mozambique have been highly aggressive in their approach to securing a place in the next FIFA World Cup Tournament, picking up twelve points from a possible eighteen. Mozambique have lost twice and won four in their previous six games in this competition. They occupy the second spot on the log, and a win here will boost their chances of winning the group. 

Mozambique Lineup

Chiquinho Conde's men are a strong side, with the inclusion of Diego Calila, Cherene, and Cantolo, we expect a solid performance against Uganda. 

Mozambique Potential Lineup (4-2-3-1)

Ernani—Langa, Mandava, Chamboco, Nanani—Amade, Guima—Witi, Santos, Catamo—Ratifo

Head coach: Chiquinho Conde

Uganda vs Mozambique: head to head statistics

Mozambique were full of enthusiasm in front of goal, although their opponents were nowhere near their best in the reverse leg. The game, which ended in a (3-1) victory for Mozambique against Uganda, might produce a similar result tomorrow.

Uganda vs Mozambique match prediction 05 September 2025

The Cranes were fantastic in their recent victory over Congo in the FIFA World Cup game, playing with a lot of confidence despite featuring a very young side. On the other side, Mozambique failed to play their usual game, after featuring a five-man defence and four midfielders. Unfortunately, they lost by five goals to one against Algeria on the road. 

Uganda are pretty confident heading into this game, and they are definitely going to dominate Mozambique; however, they must apply caution against their opponent, who can not be totally underestimated.

The Cranes will attack more, which will likely open them up to more vulnerability at the back. The Mambas, who have some serious attacking threats, will explore their options in this evenly contested matchup. This game won’t deny us goals, as I expect both teams to get a goal apiece. 

My match prediction is BTTS for a coefficient of 2.40 on the Betway bookmaker. 

My betting tip is for hosts to score at the break with a coefficient of 2.03 on the Bet365 bookmaker.

My final tip for this game is for a home win or draw and over 1.5 goals coefficient of 1.88 on the 1xbet bookmaker.

Good luck!
