Match Preview
A victory against the DR Congo in their group opener laid the foundation for Uganda’s first appearance in the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) knockout rounds since 1978, a year they finished runners up. However, with just one win in their last six AFCON tournament fixtures (W1, D2, L3), Uganda will be considered big underdogs here. |
None of those aforementioned six games featured more than two goals, and it’s now four in a row where precisely two match goals have been scored. Notably, 83.33% of the match goals in their games this tournament have arrived before half-time. |
Despite being one of the pre-tournament favourites, Senegal have never won an AFCON before, but have secured two quarter-final appearances and a semi-final since their second place finish in 2002. They enter this match on a high after winning 3-0 in their final group stage match – the joint-second biggest win of the group stage. |
In contrast to their opponents, Senegal have seen 83.33% of the match goals in their tournament games arrive after the break. Overall, they come into this in good form with eight wins in their last nine matches – seven of those ‘to nil’. |
Players to watch: Emmanuel Okwi has scored two of Uganda’s three tournament goals – both from within the six-yard box. Senegalese star forward Sadio Mané netted two goals in his last match, and can become Senegal’s joint-third all-time top scorer with another two. |
Stat attack: Two of Uganda’s three goals this tournament have been headers. |
Frustrating their opponents, teams facing Senegal this tournament have been shown an average of 3.33 yellow cards. There’s also been one red. |
Senegal have dominated possession in their three matches so far, keeping the ball 61% of the time on average. |
Senegal have been awarded 5.67 corners per match on average this tournament. |
