Uganda, currently third in their group, must win to secure qualification. Their recent form shows a record of 4 wins, 2 draws, and 4 losses in their last 10 matches. Uganda's key disadvantage lies in their over-reliance on their core forward, Omedi (only 2 goals this season), resulting in a weak overall attack (only 6 goals in the last 6 matches). Furthermore, their defence is vulnerable, conceding in 4 out of the last 5 games, making it difficult to withstand Nigeria's attacks. Nigeria has already qualified for the group stage and the question now is whether they will take the foot off the gas in this match. Nigeria's recent form shows 6 wins, 3 draws, and 1 loss in their last 10 matches. Nigeria's key advantages include a complete squad (key players such as midfielders Brown and forward Foster are available) and an attack that relies on wing breakthroughs (such as winger Ashraf's crosses) and midfield organisation (such as Brown's long-range shots). Their away attack efficiency is very high recently (2 goals per game). There is no historical head-to-head data between the two teams in recent years. Uganda are the underdogs given the circumstances. The initial odds suggest a high probability of a home win, a moderate draw, and a low probability of an away win. The home win odds have decreased to 4, while the away win odds have increased to 1.5, with the draw odds unchanged. This shift indicates a higher probability of an away win. In the face of a weak buffer, the away team's confidence is insufficient. Considering the past lack of head-to-head results, the market image of the away team is worse, and this match is expected to be further intensified, building the home team's confidence, which is likely to increase the probability of a home win. Prediction: Nigeria to win (If it becomes a draw, it is recommended to abandon the operation). Recommended scores: 1-2, 0-2, 1-3
