Three draws and a two-point gap
Botswana drew 1-1 away to Uganda on 14 November, their third successive draw in Group H. Uganda lead with five points, while Botswana are third with three after three matches. A Botswana win would put them one point above Uganda, on six points to five.
Uganda have already qualified as co-hosts. Botswana, Libya and Tunisia are contesting the group’s other place at the finals.
A more recent meeting than the World Cup qualifiers
The November draw follows Uganda’s two 1-0 wins in World Cup qualifying, in June 2024 and October 2025. Across those three meetings, Uganda have two wins and there is one draw; each game had two goals or fewer.
Our prediction
Uganda’s higher group position and the two earlier wins give them a cautious edge. Botswana’s latest draw shows they can make this competitive, so another draw remains plausible.
