Congo DR have built positive momentum with consecutive wins over Equatorial Guinea and Zimbabwe, showing reliability on home turf where they have kept two clean sheets and conceded an average of just 0.7 goals per match. Uganda showed defensive structure in their 1-1 draw away at Tunisia, but they have struggled to turn draws into wins. Combining Congo DR's current form with the historically low-scoring nature of this matchup points to the home side avoiding defeat in a tight contest.

Our record in Friendlies
Settled results only — every published pick is recorded win or lose. Full track record →
Based on at least 20 settled predictions.2 published markets
Congo DR have seen at least two goals scored in four of their last five fixtures, scoring multiple goals in three of those matches. Uganda have also produced two or more goals in each of their last three fully recorded matches, scoring exactly once in games against Tunisia, Nigeria, and Tanzania. While the historical head-to-head record between these nations averages only 1.0 goal per game and lacks high-scoring history to warrant backing three or more goals, current form supports the expectation of at least two goals being scored.
