This is a continental cup match, the Africa Cup of Nations Qualifications, and both teams need points from this game to move forward on the qualifying path. Their most recent meeting just ended in a 0-0 draw. That scoreline says these two are not far apart, and games between them tend to be decided by small details rather than a blowout. Uganda come into this match on a run without a win, drawing three and losing two of those, but they have just drawn 1-1 with Libya in their latest meeting. Libya are also unbeaten in their last five, even though they drew four of those five, and they have just finished their game with Uganda by the same scoreline. The defences of both sides therefore look like the part working better than the attack. If Uganda score first, Libya will have to open up to chase the game, and that could turn a match where both were waiting for their moment into one with more end-to-end exchanges. But if Libya score first, Uganda, who have gone so long without a win, will be forced to push even higher up the pitch, which would open more room for Libya to play on the counter.
