Teams Preview

Uganda

Uganda are back to the 2027 FIBA World Cup African qualifiers with a home assignment against Egypt. Both sides locked horns in the 2025 AfroBasket where Egypt knocked them out in the group stage with a 64-77 defeat. Uganda dropped all group stage games in AfroBasket. In World Cup qualifiers, they made a losing start as Angola outperformed them 68-90. It’s a tough situation for Uganda to cross the line. 

Uganda failed to qualify for the FIBA World Cup 2023 after losing all group stage games. It won’t be an easy task for them as they are placed along with 2025 AfroBasket finalists, Angola and Mali. They somehow have to beat Egypt to finish in the top three. Uganda averaged 63 points in AfroBasket and allowed 83.3 points. Meanwhile, they rank third in steals per game (11.3). However, they averaged 14.7 turnovers per game. The hosts were shooting 32.4% from the floor and 17.5% from the three-point line. 

Three players reached double figures for Uganda in the campaign opener. Deng Geu notched up a double-double with 17 points and 12 rebounds. Nike Sibande scored 15 points and 7 assists. JP Kayira also contributed ten points. Deng Geu could be a player to watch out for. The forward averaged 22 in AfroBasket and continued his form in WC Qualifiers. We are backing Geu to score a double-double in the home fixture against Egypt. 

Egypt

Egypt will be in action for the crucial showdown with Uganda in the 2027 FIBA World Cup African Qualifiers. Considering the form of Angola and Mali, only one team will go to the next round between Egypt and Uganda. Egypt had the last laugh when they last met Uganda in the AfroBasket last year. Egypt won all their group stage games but suffered an exit against Cameroon in the knockout round. 

Egypt qualified to the 2023 FIBA World Cup so they are optimistic to clear the qualifying round this time. Meanwhile, the visitors made a tough start to the campaign with a 77-86 loss to Mali. Egypt averaged 77.5 points on 42.5% shooting which was fourth-best in AfroBasket. Their offensive strength put them under the top teams in Africa. They ranked fourth in rebounds (45.2). Egypt allowed 21.4% three-point shooting against the opposition. 

As we mentioned earlier, Egypt rely on their starters with great offensive talent. Amr Elgendy dropped 22 points against Mali in the opener. Ahmed Metwaly went for 17 points and five rebounds. Omar Oraby chipped in with 10 points and eight rebounds. Elgendy could be an offensive threat in the upcoming fixture. He has been a consistent player in the international assignments. Amr averaged 12.8 points in AfroBaske and scored double-digit scores in his last six games for Egypt. We back him to be a top-scorer with 15 points in the road contest.
