Uganda meets Senegal in the Africa Cup of Nations 1/8 finals. The match will be played on Friday, July 5th at Cairo International Stadium (Cairo)
Uganda national team has the entire set of results after the group stage. The victory over Congo, a draw with Zimbabwe and loss to the hosts of the tournament. Such inconsistency allowed Uganda advancing to the playoffs directly, that is, from 2nd place. And probably it’s time to pack your bags.

Senegal began the tournament with a victory over Tanzania, and then there was a loss to very powerful Algeria. And the team gained a confident victory over Kenya in the last round (3-0) and got to the playoffs without any problems.
Uganda team has never played at the world championships. Yes, it has quite substantial achievements at the Cup of Nations: they played in the semifinals and even in the final. But the final was far in 1978. After that, the Cranes qualified to the final part of the ACN only once, to the last championship, where they could not get out of the group. Senegal is much more experienced than its rival is. The team played at the last World Cup in Russia. And in 2002, it even reached the quarterfinals. Senegal is a regular participant in the final stages of the Africa Cup of Nations; this is already the 12th cup for the team. Senegal hasn’t won the title yet, but it played in the quarterfinals and the semi-finals, as well as in the final. The squad of the Lions is several times more powerful than that of the Cranes. As for Ugandan legionnaires, we can single out Kizito, who plays for Shakhter Karaganda, and Miya from Croatian Gorica. For comparison, the players of Senegal play in French Nimes, Amiens, Rennes, Reims, Valenciennes, Bordeaux, Italian SPAL, Napoli, Inter, English Everton and Liverpool. There is some difference with Shakhter Karaganda, right? And this difference will be proved in the field, where Senegal will surely win and advance to the next round. The opponents met only 3 times, and yet there were 2 draws and the victory of Senegal in those games played a long time ago.
Prediction for the match: Senegal to win
