Algeria vs Uganda prediction preview team news and more 2023 Africa Cup of Nations Qualifiers

Algeria will host Uganda on Saturday - 2023 Africa Cup of Nations Qualifiers The qualifiers for the 2023 continue this weekend and will see host at the Oran Olympic Stadium on Saturday night. Algeria endured a disappointing Africa Cup of Nations campaign earlier this year as they finished bottom of their group after going winless in their three games. They then failed to secure a World Cup spot after losing to Cameroon in the playoffs back in March and will be looking to put all that behind them this month. The Fennec Foxes are two-time winners of the continental showpiece and have been present in the competition's last five editions, a streak they will be looking to continue next year. Uganda failed to qualify for the continental showpiece last time out as they finished third in their group behind Burkina Faso and Malawi after picking up just two wins in six games. The visitors have never won the Africa Cup of Nations, coming closest to doing so back in 1978 when they lost 2-0 in the final to tournament hosts Ghana.
