Algeria vs Uganda Prediction & Betting Tips

Algeria vs Uganda Preview

Algeria returned to winning ways last Thursday when they defeated Somalia 3-0 in their final away game of the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers. The North African nation took the lead via Mohamed Amoura in the 7th minute, before Riyad Mahrez added the second in the 19th minute, the former would score the third goal for the hosts in the 57th minute as they made light work of the opposition.

Replicating that performance will be a priority for Algeria as they look to keep their third successive clean sheet. As it stands, the hosts are assured of an automatic qualification in Group G, having accumulated 22 points from nine matches (7W, 1D, 1L). They are four points ahead of Uganda, who sit in second place with eighteen points.

Meanwhile, Uganda made it four wins and four clean sheets in a row when they defeated Botswana 1-0 in their recent World Cup qualifying match. Uganda struggled in the opening stages of the encounter, before settling into the game towards the end of the first half. They would continue that trajectory in the second half, deservingly taken the lead via Jude Ssemugabi in the 57th minute. The goal would act as the difference maker as it puts Uganda in a strong position to finish second in the group.

Uganda’s away form in this qualifying series is not the best as they have two wins, and two defeats from four games. Both victories are a 1-0 scoreline, summing up their struggles on the road. The visitors will hope to end Algeria’s dominance against them when the two nations clash on Tuesday.

Algeria vs Uganda Prediction

We back Algeria to win this match because they are unbeaten in their last six World Cup qualifying matches, winning five and drawing one. The hosts also defeated Uganda in their four head-to-head meetings and we expect them to make it five in a row.

Both nations are expected to get on the scoresheet because they are the two highest scoring nations in Group G. In addition, both teams scored in four of Algeria’s last six World Cup qualifying matches, and in two of the four meetings between the two nations.
