TEAMS PREVIEW

Nigeria Preview

Nigeria enter their final Group A match hoping to finish a hard tournament on a positive note. They sit at the bottom of the table with zero points from five games and a -230 point difference after a heavy 78-13 loss to Malaysia. In that game, Nigeria struggled across the mat, giving away six All-Outs and failing to stop Malaysia's nonstop raids.

Even with those tough losses, raiders Edem Wisdom Ita, Ekpe Victory Emmanuel, and Izu Prince Udah have shown good fight and scoring ability when the team stays patient.

Against a solid Uganda team, Nigeria need to tighten up their defence and stop making rushed tackles that give away easy points. If Nigeria can stay calm on raids and work together to make clean tackles, they can put up a much better fight.

Uganda Preview

Uganda enter this Group A match full of confidence after a hard-fought 35-28 win over Tanzania in the closest game of the day. That big victory moved Uganda to six points from five games with a +32 point difference, keeping them fourth and pushing for a strong finish to the group stage.

Ibanda Derrick Sirivesiti was the star of the show with 12 points, including a Super Tackle. Mulalira Daglas added six points, while Tenywa Gasta helped out with four tackle points. Uganda's defence looked very sharp, pulling off three Super Tackles and wiping out Tanzania twice to seal the win.

Against a Nigeria team that has not won a game yet, Uganda will look to take control right away. Their strong tackling, tight defensive chains, and smart raiding give them a huge advantage. If Uganda stay calm and focused, they should secure another clear win.

NIG vs UGA
Winning Prediction

Uganda enter this contest as the favourites to win. Their raiders have scored points steadily, and their defenders have come up with big Super Tackles whenever the team needed them most.

Nigeria are still looking for their first win of the tournament and have given away massive scores in every game so far. Uganda have too much quality and power across the mat, so expect them to take control right from the opening raid and cruise to a comfortable victory.
