Nigeria goes into this match as the favorite. Uganda has no intention of going down without a fight on the final day of Group C, as qualification is still possible at the Fez Sports Complex on Tuesday evening.
Indeed, a defeat for Tunisia and a big win for Uganda could see them through to the round of 16. As you can see, the Super Eagles cannot go into this match without excellent preparation. For example, the defensive lapses seen against Tunisia cannot be repeated during regulation time, otherwise there could be an unpleasant surprise.
Will logic prevail before the serious business of the Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco begins? The answer will be revealed in a culturally exceptional city. One thing is certain: you have to take into account the history between the two teams if you don't want to be surprised by a surprise from Uganda...

Uganda - Nigeria: Form Analysis
Nigeria had a scare, but Nigeria achieved its goal: finishing first in its group. With a victory against Tanzania and Tunisia by a single goal, we still expected better from the Super Eagles. But that's not the main thing. Qualification was the goal for the former finalist! Mission accomplished, but now they need to be more vigilant defensively, as their work in this area has not been exceptional...
Uganda is a team to be wary of.
Although the Cranes have yet to win in this AFCON, they came close to their first victory of the competition against Tanzania. Unfortunately, Paul Put's men missed a penalty just minutes before the end of the match. One point out of six is not a good result, especially since the Ugandans collapsed when they needed to stand up to a superior team on paper, Tunisia. Our experts fear another defeat at the end of 90 minutes.

Uganda & Nigeria Squad Analysis
He may not be in great form with Bergamo, but Lookman has been outstanding for Nigeria! The 2023 Europa League hero has scored two goals and provided two assists. With strong support from the duo of Osimhen (1 goal and 1 assist) and Iwobi (2 assists), it's fair to say that the Super Eagles have been able to rely on their key players since the start of the competition.
On the Ugandan side, Denis Omedi has been keeping the team relevant!
Denis Omedi scored the only goal against Tunisia, before providing an assist for Ikpeazu with 10 minutes to go. Uche Ikpeazu showed his coach that he could be counted on after spending the match against the Eagles of Carthage on the bench. Allan Okello will

Our Uganda vs Nigeria Prediction
Nigeria enters this match eager to secure its third win on Moroccan soil. The goal is to finish top of the group, and to avoid any uncertainty, at least one point is needed at the end of 90 minutes. The Super Eagles have an important task ahead of them: to break a streak of three games without a win against Uganda. Yes, it's a surprising statistic, but the Ugandans are undefeated against the last finalist in the competition. With a strong attack and the status of favorites, Nigeria cannot afford to miss this opportunity at the end of 90 minutes.
Our prediction for Nigeria vs. Uganda: Nigeria or a draw and over 1.5 goals!
