Uganda vs Congo DR Prediction

Uganda host DR Congo on 5 October 2026 at 16:00 in a friendly that amounts to a straight rematch. Uganda won the first meeting 2-0 last week and will be heavy favorites to repeat that result. The hosts have momentum: two straight wins in their Africa Cup of Nations qualifying campaign, a 2-0 victory over DR Congo, and a disciplined defensive shape that has kept the opposition quiet. DR Congo qualified for the World Cup round of 32 but lost 2-1 to England and have since managed only one win in regulation time across seven matches. Uganda's recent form and psychological edge from the previous result make them the clear pick here.

Form and H2H

Uganda have won five of their last eight head-to-head meetings with DR Congo. In their most recent clash, Uganda won 2-0. The hosts have also won their last two matches in all competitions. DR Congo, despite winning their opening two Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Equatorial Guinea and Zimbabwe, have struggled badly in regulation time, winning just once in their last seven outings. Uganda's last-10 record at home shows four wins, two draws, and four losses, with an average of 1.14 goals for and 1.40 against. DR Congo's away form over the same span reads three wins, three draws, and four losses, averaging 1.01 goals for and 1.00 against.

Best bet

Uganda to win. The hosts have beaten DR Congo twice in quick succession, shown sharper finishing, and maintained better defensive discipline. DR Congo's recent struggles in regulation time make them vulnerable to a third consecutive defeat. At 1xBet, Uganda are priced at 4.15.

Odds to watch

The draw is available at 3.54 on 1xBet and 3.46 on 1Win if you expect a cagier contest. A DR Congo win sits at 2.01 on 1xBet and 4.34 on 1Win, though the away side's form makes that a long shot.
