Nigeria (NGR) vs Uganda (UGN) Prediction
In the current season of Afrobasket championship season 2021, the Nigeria men’s national basketball team (NGR) has performed in 3 prelims round and out of which they have amazingly secured 2 victories and recorded 1 loss only. Uganda men’s national basketball team (UGN) on the other hand has also played 3 preliminary rounds and has registered 1 win and 2 losses in their account.
Well, it would be the first time that these two teams are competing against each other in the present season of Afrobasket. Uganda has previously appeared two times in the preceding season of afro basketball but never recorded a single medal, while Nigeria has appeared in 18 seasons and in 2017 won the silver medal, while in 2015, they won a gold medal. Thus, based on the past performances as well as the ongoing statistics of both the teams, our bets for today’s match are on team Nigeria (NGR).
