Bouyed by a surprise 3-1 victory over Slovakia on Sundayevening, Uganda travel to Abidjan for another international friendly match,their last before the Africa Cup of Nations kicks off this coming weekend. Ugandamakes a return to the continental championship after a 38-year absence but isamong the least favorite teams to win the tournament. Ivory Coast, on the otherhand are the African defending champions, after lifting the title in 2015. TheElephants have surprisingly won just two of their last six matches, mostrecently beating Sweden 2-1 in a friendly match. But they have not lost a matcheither as four of the encounters ended in draws. In addition to the Slovakiavictory, the Cranes have won just one other match in their last six encountersacross all tournaments and friendly pairings. Coach Michel Dussuyer named21 Europe-based players to his 23-man AFCON squad and it will be difficult for coachMilutin ‘Micho’ Sredojevic with a predominantly Africa-based teamto challenge them well.
