Comoros vs Uganda Prediction: A low scoring encounter expected

Comoros and Uganda will strive to gain an advantage over each other as they clash in an international friendly at Stade de Marrakech on Friday evening. Both teams are currently in good form, with Comoros maintaining an undefeated streak in their last four matches, while Uganda pursues a third successive victory.

Comoros extended their flawless World Cup qualifying streak with a 1-0 victory against Ghana's Black Stars at Stade de Moroni on November 21. Stefano Cusin's team broke the deadlock just before halftime, courtesy of a goal by Myziane Maolida, and then displayed a resolute defensive performance to maintain their lead. This marked the third consecutive win for Les Coelacanths, who have remained undefeated since their exit from the COSAFA Cup group stage in July. Their next challenge involves facing an opponent with a perfect record in this fixture, having won both previous encounters. With seven goals scored in their last three matches, Comoros will be eager to continue their impressive attacking form.

Uganda asserted their dominance over Kuwait with a convincing 2-0 victory at the Cairo International Stadium on January 19. Paul Put's team took an early lead through Ronald Ssekiganda's goal before Alex Kitata sealed the win five minutes before the final whistle. As a result, the Cranes have achieved consecutive victories for the first time since 2022 and are now aiming for a third win in a row. In preparation for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers in June, Uganda will be eager to maintain their recent improvement in performance during the first of two friendly matches.

Comoros has had an impressive beginning to their World Cup qualifying journey, leading their group with a flawless record so far. Meanwhile, Uganda maintains its position at 92nd in the latest rankings. Their recent friendlies have tended to be low-scoring affairs, with seven out of their last eight matches seeing fewer than three goals, suggesting a continuation of this pattern. Additionally, Uganda holds a perfect record in head-to-head matchups, potentially providing them with a psychological advantage. Comoros has seen their last four friendlies decided by a single-goal margin, hinting at another tight contest. We predict Stefano Cusin's team to secure a narrow victory, possibly with a clean sheet.
