Uganda meets Egypt in round 3 of the Africa Cup of Nations. The match will be played on Sunday, June 30th at Cairo International Stadium (Cairo)
Of course, Uganda can be completely satisfied with how this tournament is for them! 4 points after two rounds, and now we can say that Uganda is 99.9% in the playoffs! Well, even if they lose second place in the group, then four points will definitely be enough to get in the top four teams that took third place in the group. Uganda had held two non-scoring matches at the tournament - a 2–0 victory over Congo, a 1–1 draw with Zimbabwe. Uganda has a strong defense and a generally well-knit game that allowed to take a good amount of points in the games with direct competitors in the group! Certainly, the Egyptians have a completely different level, but considering how the Pharaohs are playing, Uganda has every chance of even scratching out a draw in the upcoming match! The Pharaohs play defense first, and only then they think about the attack, so there will definitely not be an attacking storm on the Ugandan penalty area!

Well, to be honest, Egypt shows a rather boring game, if we look at the best player on the continent of recent years. I’m all about Salah! The team beat Zimbabwe (1-0) and Congo (2-0) and accomplished the task of progressing from the group, and this is surely the main goal! Well, entertainment in modern football has long been relegated... In the upcoming match, the Egyptians obviously shouldn’t weaken the squad too much, because having lost this meeting, the Pharaohs will lose the first place and the potentially weak opponent in the 1/8 finals. Moreover, another challenge for the Egyptians in the upcoming game is to help their goalkeeper to extend a “dry” streak in the championship! El-Shenawi has already kept a clean sheet in two matches of in this tournament! And of course, there is a great desire to extend this streak! Therefore, I expect a typical game of the Egyptians for a 1-0 score, and 0-0 will also please them.
The game clearly promises to be non-scoring. The teams clearly play defense first. And then there is such a game that even a draw will suit both teams, and as a result, even 0-0 can be recorded!
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 goals scored
