South Africa have one last throw of the dice as far as advancing in the African Nations Championship (Chan) is concerned. Placed third, they are set to face co-hosts Uganda in their final match in Group C. Let’s have a look at the prediction for the match.

After three matches at the competition, South Africa have five points. They failed to build on their 2-1 win against Guinea, drawing 0-0 with Niger in their third game. The result left South Africa on one win in the last five matches.

There’s a lot of work to do defensively, though, with the Bafana Bafana having managed just one clean sheet in six.

While South Africa are struggling to add to their one win, Uganda are coming off a second straight victory. The co-hosts had a poor start to the competition, falling 3-0 to Algeria.

They, however, recovered to record a win by the same margin against Guinea on matchday two. It was an even sweeter outing in the third match as they sealed a 2-0 win against Niger.

That was their second clean sheet in five matches, and playing in front of home fans, Uganda will have an edge. This, the hosts will hope leads them to a first win against South Africa. Uganda lost four of the six meetings.
