Guinea will open their quest for a place in the 2026 World Cup with a Group G home game against Uganda. These two nations hope for good starts in a group that also has Botswana, Algeria, Mozambique and Somalia. Neither side is coming into this game with a strong run. Hosts Guinea are coming here unbeaten in three games but have one win in five matches. Their only clean sheet in this run came in that win, a 1-0 victory over Guinea-Bissau. Their strength coming into this game is that they’ve scored in each of their last eight matches. Coming into this game, Guinea played to a 1-1 draw with Gabon in an international friendly. Their home form has four wins in six matches, a trend they’ll want to extend here.

The last time Uganda faced Guinea was in 2014, and they suffered a 2-0 loss. That was their second straight loss at Guinea’s backyard, but they have a win sandwiched in two losses. In four meetings with Guinea, they managed just a win, which came at home. Uganda are also in not very good shape coming into this game. They lost their last two matches, and six of their last eight. A 3-0 loss to Zambia in their most recent game followed on a 1-0 loss to Mali. A dead rubber 2-0 win over Niger in the AFCON 2023 qualifiers is all Uganda have to show in the last five games. They’ve actually failed to score in three of their last five matches and a clean sheet in five.
