Uganda: a solid result in Tunisia, but a long wait for a win
Uganda made a strong start to their qualifying campaign against Tunisia. Rogers Mato scored the equalizer and helped his team take a point home from North Africa.
However, their overall run remains disappointing — Uganda have not won any of their last six matches, suffering four defeats and drawing twice. The team now returns home, where they will look to beat Libya for the first time.
Libya: a comeback from 0-2 and another draw
Libya also picked up a point in the opening round, despite trailing Botswana 0-2 late in the match. Ezoo El-Mariami first helped set up the opening goal in the 87th minute before scoring the equalizer himself in stoppage time.
Draws have become the norm for Libya: six of the team's last seven matches have ended without a winner. At the same time, the national team remain unbeaten during this run.
Match facts and head-to-head record
- Both national teams began their qualifying campaigns with draws.
- Libya have drawn six of their last seven matches.
- Two of the previous four meetings between Uganda and Libya ended in draws, including their most recent encounter in 2022 — 0-0.
Another evenly matched game looks likely: prediction for Uganda vs Libya
Uganda received a boost from their draw away to Tunisia and should feel more confident at home. However, the hosts still lack consistency and winning results.
Libya, meanwhile, regularly take their matches down to a level score and have already shown their character by coming back from two goals down against Botswana. The recent head-to-head meetings have also failed to reveal a clear advantage for either side.
