The rest of the team that started against Cameroon a week ago is maintained.

Proline goalkeeper Saidi Keni starts in goal, Police’s Paul Willa and Kizza are at right and left back respectively.

Another Proline player Musitafa Mujuzi and Geofrey Wasswa are the two central defenders.

Asiku, like aforementioned, starts in the deep six role.

Team captain Julius Poloto, Ivan Eyam, Frank Tumwesigye and Allan Okello are all employed as offensive midfielders.

Vipers Sports Club fast paced forward Steven Mukwala will command the starting role as a lone center forward.

Meanwhile, Denis Otim is the reserve goalkeeper. Other players awaiting to be introduced are; Fred Okot, Faisal Ssekyanzi, Herbert Achai, Hamis Tibita, Kasule and Kitabalwa.

Uganda won the first leg 1-0 courtesy of Mukwala’s strike. The winner on aggregate will qualify to the next round and will face Mali.
