Uganda vs Madagascar in Marrakech: Put Needs a Statement Here

Uganda play Madagascar in Marrakech on June 8, three days after the Tanzania derby. Paul Put had to see how his squad responds to a difficult game against a team in better form before giving them a second test against a different style of opponent. Madagascar are not Tanzania. They are an organised, tactically disciplined side who reached the AFCON 2019 quarter-finals and have continued to develop. They will not make it easy for Uganda. The question for Put is whether his attackers can find a way through a compact defensive structure when the result is the only measure of success.

The score against Tanzania told Put what he needed to know about the first eleven. The Madagascar game tells him about the players who did not start, the combinations that need more work, and the forward who will start against Botswana in September when the qualifiers begin. Back Uganda to win but do not expect it to be comfortable.

Our Prediction and Tips

Uganda win 2-0. Clean sheet. The forward question gets at least a partial answer. Back Uganda win and clean sheet as the primary market combination.
