The former African champions are unbeaten in their last 17 home matches in the AFCON qualifiers having recorded 15 wins and two draws.
Meanwhile, Uganda were narrowly beaten 1-0 by Mali away in their last competitive game which was the 2022 World Cup qualifier game on 14 November 2021.
The defeat ended the Cranes' five-match unbeaten run in competitive games having registered three draws and two victories.
The East African giants are winless in their last four away matches in the AFCON qualifiers having recorded three defeats and one draw on the road.
“The long wait is finally over. I personally believe we are in a competitive group and one of the strongest groups," Uganda coach Milutin Sredojevic said.
"Both Niger and Tanzania have had representatives in the group stages of the CAF Club competitions this season while Algeria were winners of the Africa Cup of Nations in 2019 and recent winners of the FIFA Arab Cup.
“Someone would look at Algeria as group favourites but in modern football, there are no small teams because gaps in African football have been reduced.”
The last meeting between Algeria and Uganda was on 26 January 2003.
The Desert Foxes secured a slender 1-0 win over the Cranes in an international friendly match which was played at the Namboole Stadium in Kampala.
