Uganda vs Guinea Preview

• Venue: Mandela National Stadium
• Date: 25th March, 2025

• Kick-off Time: 04:00 PM GMT

  Uganda vs Guinea is set to take place in the World Cup Qualifiers at the Mandela National Stadium on 25th March. The hosts have had a very average performance till now in their World Cup Qualification campaign. Uganda were drawn alongside Algeria, Mozambique, Guinea, Botswana, and Somalia in Group G. They are currently in fifth place with six points winning two matches and losing three. Uganda kicked off their WC Qualification with a loss after which they won back-to-back games and have now lost back to back games.

  Guinea on the other hand are third in the table but in no way are they doing significantly better than Uganda. Guinea are in third place with seven points winning two matches, losing two matches and drawing one match. Guinea just like Uganda have been winless in their last two matches signifying a dry run for both teams. Now everything boils down to matchday six as a loss for either side will be so harmful that Guinea will take Uganda's spot in fifth place or Uganda will take Guinea's spot in third place.

Uganda vs Guinea Prediction

Although Uganda have the home stadium advantage, there is a reason that they have never won any official match against Guinea and that is because there is a difference in quality. Guinea has more quality players and their attacking ranks are likely to dismantle Uganda's backline who themselves are coming into this match from a 3-1 loss to Mozambique on 20th March.

Prediction: Uganda 0-2 Guinea
