Uganda vs Senegal Today’s Betting Tips

Qualified for this African Cup of Nations in the first place in their playoff group against Tanzania, Lesotho and Cape Verde, Uganda has just passed the first round of the African Cup of Nations for the first time since 1980. Indeed, the Cranes finished in the 2nd place of their group A, behind Egypt, despite a low score of 4 points, after doing the job especially in their first match against the Democratic Republic of Congo that they won without much trouble (0-2). Then, they had more difficulties against the modest Zimbabwe (1-1) and especially against Egypt (2-0).
For its part, Senegal was a little scared in his group. If they had no trouble getting out of Tanzania (2-0) when they entered the tournament, the Lions of Teranga were beaten by Algeria (1-0) during the shock Group C at the end of a difficult meeting, marked by the large number of mistakes and the lack of show. Back to the wall against Kenya, they made the difference in the second half to finally afford a comfortable success (0-3) which allowed them to seize the 2nd place of their group, and, thus, of reach the round of 16.

The staff for Uganda vs Senegal

Unlike many other selections in this tournament, most of the Ugandan squad is totally unknown to the general public. On the other hand, the coach has his typical team in mind and relies mainly on his offensive trio formed by Abdu, Okwi and Kaddu. However, the important defenders Isinde (60 caps), Iguma (61 caps) and McNabb (62 caps) are absent for this tournament.
