Uganda have shown that they can compete and score against top African sides, often making matches difficult for stronger opponents.

In 2025, Uganda found the net against Algeria, pushed Senegal in a narrow 0:1 defeat while creating an xG of 1.21, and scored three goals each against South Africa and Guinea. These performances highlight attacking potential, especially when facing quality opposition.

Tunisia, meanwhile, possess superior individual quality overall, but recent matches have exposed defensive issues. Conceding goals against lower-ranked teams such as Botswana, Palestine (twice), Jordan, and Mauritania points to a lack of consistency at the back.
