Uganda and South Africa are set to clash in a vital top-of-the-table matchup in the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers at Mandela National Stadium on Friday afternoon. The Cranes currently lead Group K, while Bafana Bafana sit in second place. Here’s our match prediction.
Both teams will be putting their unbeaten records on the line in this encounter. Uganda has only dropped points once in their four matches, which was in a thrilling 2-2 draw against South Africa in the opening round. With Uganda on 10 points and South Africa on 8, a win for either side will secure their qualification for the 2025 AFCON.
Despite their strong record and home advantage, bookmakers have made Uganda the slight underdogs in this match. Can the Cranes defy the odds, or will Bafana Bafana rise to the challenge in Kampala? Let’s take a look at the key stats!
