The Uganda Cranes are riding high on their recent victory against Botswana and are now setting their sights on Algeria in a crucial World Cup qualifier.
This match is pivotal for the Cranes as they strive to keep their qualifying hopes alive.
Historically, Uganda has a strong record against Algeria, having won all three previous encounters in Kampala. This impressive track record is expected to boost the morale of the Cranes players, reinforcing the belief that victory is within reach.
Algeria, a formidable opponent, has been in excellent form over the past five years, highlighted by their African Cup of Nations victory in 2019.
The team boasts several top-tier players, including Riyad Mahrez and Hakim Ziyech, who have played in Europe’s elite leagues. However, the Cranes received a morale boost with the news that Ziyech did not travel with the Algerian squad.
Coach Paul Put is likely to field the same starting lineup that triumphed over Botswana, maintaining the winning formula. The Cranes will rely on their cohesive team play and home advantage as they face the Algerian challenge.
The match kicks off at 7 PM and will be broadcast live on FUFA TV.
