Uganda and Nigeria face off in the final group stage game of this year's AFCON for both sides. Nigeria already know their fate ahead of this one, as they are already qualified for the next round, but will be hoping to protect their goal difference to finish top of the group. Uganda still has a slim hope of qualification should they win and the other group game end in a draw and could finish second if they can overturn the goal difference on Tunisia, but they will likely rely on results from other groups going their way to get a 3rd place spot.

Uganda vs Nigeria Current Form and Standings

Uganda have just one point from their two games so far in AFCON and face their most difficult test in a game which they must win to have any chance of staying in the competition… Not the most enviable position, is it?

Nigeria come into this game knowing they are already through and likely topping the group too. They would like a better defensive performance this time out to set them in good stead going forward, but should they keep up their goalscoring prowess, they will be in imperious form going into the knockouts.

Uganda vs Nigeria Betting Tips

Football Park's Best Bet: Uganda win @ 3.80 – Our team of in-house tipsters has predicted a Uganda win. Of course, Uganda are big underdogs here, but who doesn't love an underdog story? This banks on Nigeria taking their foot off the gas with their status already confirmed and Uganda pushing on as they look for a win to keep them in the competition. It is an outside shout, but don't be shocked if it comes in.

Key Players to Watch: Uganda vs Nigeria

Denis Omedi (Uganda): The jury is out on whether Omedi will start here, having not done so in either of the previous two, but from the bench he has already managed a goal and an assist in the tournament, so he is one to watch again here.

Ademola Lookman (Nigeria): Lookman is already making up for lost time in club football, having scored 2 and assisted 2 already at the tournament. Seeing him continue that here feels more like a formality than a possibility.
