Recent form points different ways

Congo DR have strung together three wins from their last five, most recently beating ZIM 2-1, having beaten EQG 2-0. Those victories follow a pair of defeats in late June and early July, each by a single goal. Uganda's form is patchier: their only win in five came against LBY at the end of September, a 1-0 result.

Congo pushed England to the edge at the World Cup earlier this year, and the gap between these two sides shows in the head-to-head record. The four meetings above contain seven goals in total, spread unevenly: Congo DR won one 4-0 in 2005, lost two by a single goal each, and drew the most recent encounter 0-0 in January 2023. Uganda's 2-0 win in 2019 remains their best result in this fixture.

What the friendly offers

Lineups had not been announced at the time of writing, so the shape each side takes and the personnel on show remain to be seen. For Congo DR, Friday offers a chance to extend their recent run and build on successive wins; for Uganda, it is an opportunity to add a second victory to a five-match stretch that has delivered more draws than anything else.
