World Cup – Rwanda vs Uganda: Betting Preview

Rwanda and Uganda lock horns on Thursday for the first of two decisive matches in their 2022 World Cup qualification campaign.

It’s Rwanda who will be feeling the heat most at the Nyamirambo Regional Stadium. The Wasps are bottom of Group E with only a point to their name, having failed to win their first two games. Therefore, unless they collect three points on Thursday, catching runaway leaders Mali will be a big ask.

Uganda aren’t much better off, although two points are still better than one. The Cranes hope to keep their unbeaten start in Group E going. They haven’t conceded a single goal so far, but haven’t scored any either.
