Both nations are on track to qualify for the tournament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-uganda-form\"><span class=\"green\">Uganda Form<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Uganda appointed Paul Put as coach in November 2023, and he has turned their fortunes around. In June, Uganda played two World Cup qualifiers, defeating Botswana 1-0 at home and narrowly losing 2-1 at home to Algeria after initially leading. AFCON qualifying began with a 2-2 away draw in South Africa, where they conceded a last-minute goal to forfeit a 2-1 lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since then, Uganda has secured three straight wins, putting them close to qualification. They defeated Congo 2-0 at home, beat South Sudan 1-0 in Kampala, and recently won 2-1 away against South Sudan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-uganda-team-news\"><span class=\"green\">Uganda Team News<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Coach Paul Put has no major stars in his squad. Ismail Watenga from Golden Arrows will start in goal, while Denis Omedi, a key midfielder, recently scored in qualifying against both South Africa and South Sudan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Central defender Bevis Mugabi, who plays in the Cypriot First Division, is crucial defensively and effective on set pieces. Khalid Aucho, formerly with Baroka FC and now with Yanga SC, is well-known to the South African team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-uganda-motivation\"><span class=\"green\">Uganda Motivation<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although qualification is nearly secured, Uganda will be motivated to perform well and achieve their first victory over Bafana Bafana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Their tactics are quite direct, focusing on their physical front three. They will likely avoid overplaying or dominating possession.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div   id="7rtdq1biye"    class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div   id="7rtdq1biye"    class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-black-color has-text-color has-background no-border-radius wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bet.machibet777-affiliate.com\/sports\/soccer\/africa-cup-of-nations\/\" style=\"background-color:#f2a12a\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bet Now: AFCON<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-south-africa-form\"><span class=\"green\"><strong>South Africa Form<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>South Africa&#8217;s last defeat was in January in their AFCON opener against Mali. They have since gone 17 matches unbeaten, though 11 of those ended in draws. A 1-1 draw in Nigeria and a 3-1 win over Zimbabwe in World Cup qualifying were followed by a group-stage exit in the COSAFA Cup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>AFCON qualifiers started with a 2-2 home draw against Uganda, salvaged by Thalente Mbatha\u2019s 95th-minute equalizer. Four days later, Mbatha scored again to secure a late 3-2 win over South Sudan. In the recent FIFA break, Bafana beat Congo 5-0 at home and drew 1-1 away with the same opponent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-southa-africa-team-news\"><span class=\"green\"><strong>Southa Africa Team News<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Hugo Broos has left out Percy Tau and Grant Kekana from the squad. Lyle Foster is injured, so Evidence Makgopa returns to lead the attack. Winger Mihlali Mayambela is also out, with Devin Titus named as his replacement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In defense, Siyabonga Ngezana returns and will compete with Mothobi Mvala to partner Rushwin Dortley. With Themba Zwane out long-term, either Thalente Mbatha or Patrick Maswanganyi will play as the number ten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div   id="7rtdq1biye"    class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div   id="7rtdq1biye"    class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-black-color has-text-color has-background no-border-radius wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bet.machibet777-affiliate.com\/sports\/soccer\/africa-cup-of-nations\/\" style=\"background-color:#f2a12a\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bet Now: AFCON<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-south-africa-motivation\"><span class=\"green\"><strong>South Africa Motivation<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Bafana Bafana needs just a point to ensure AFCON qualification.
