Uganda vs Zimbabwe
Uganda will face Zimbabwe on the second match day of the Africa Cup of Group A on Thursday (27/06). Uganda can ensure their move to the last 16 as long as they can win this fight.
Uganda is currently leading the competition in Group A after capturing RD Congo on the first match day. With the acquisition of 3 points, Uganda ahead of goal difference over hosts Egypt in second place. The results from the Congo RD also make Uganda only need 1 more victory to advance to the knock-out phase.
On the other hand, Zimbabwe beat 0-1 to host Egypt in their first match. The defeat made Zimbabwe have to settle for sitting in third place in the standings with no points at all. In addition, the defeat also forced Zimbabwe to be able to win when facing Uganda later in order to maintain the chance of their escape.
Both teams both won 1 victory in 4 meetings since 2011. At the first meeting, Uganda successfully defeated Zimbabwe with a score of 1-0. However, at the last meeting in May 2015 and then in the trial match, Zimbabwe succeeded in winning with a score of 2-0.
The results in the first match then made Uganda more confident about this match than Zimbabwe. But keep in mind that Zimbabwe actually actually performed quite well in the first match. They can be said to be unlucky because they have to deal with the host in the first game.
Seeing these results will be difficult to determine who will win this fight. It is likely that this match will end in a draw.
