Ghana take on the visitors Uganda in the round 1 match of Africa Cup of Nations group stage. The match will be played on Tuesday, January 17th.
Ghana national football team are one of the favorites of the tournament and they always show admirable result at Africa Cup of Nations. Starting 2008, the team advanced at least to the semifinals of the competition. However, the recent year wasn’t impressive for the team that took two wins, four draws and two defeats in their eight matches in 2016. Avraam Grant’s men are on five-match run without a single win starting June 5th last year. However, the team is now in their strongest lineup with Mensah, Baba Rahman, Atsu, Gyan and Ander Ayew and ready to battle for a place in playoffs as the least.

Uganda advanced for the Africa Cup of Nations for the first time in 39 years as they haven’t played in the continental tournament since 1978. The team don’t belong to leading teams of Africa and appearance in the main stage is already big success for the team. The team played three friendlies before the tournament, beating Slovakia, 3-1, and losing to Tunisia, 0-2, and Cote d’Ivoire, 0-3. It’s hard to expect this mediocre team with no stars in lineup to battle for top two places in the group.
Ghana and Uganda national teams faced one another seven times before and only one of these matches was won by Uganda. Ghana were stronger three times and three matches ended with draws. We should expect strong Grant’s side to start winning streak in clash with such opponents.
Prediction for the match: Ghana to win.
