El Merreikh’s Salim Jamal will start in goal for Uganda Cranes in the absence of number one keeper Dennis Onyango of Mamelodi Sundowns.
In the starting XI, Coach Milutin “Micho” Sredojovic has kept faith in Vipers’ skipper Nicholas Wadada in right full back position with Gor Mahia’s Geoffrey Walusimbi getting a rare start ahead of Joseph Ochaya in full back 3.
Juuko Murushid and Isaac Isinde will seal central defense.
Hassan Waswa who recently signed for Vipers, Baroka FC’s Khalid Aucho, Denis Iguma and Luwagga Kizito will play in the middle of the pack.
The attack will be spearheaded by the golden boy Farouk Miya and veteran Godfrey Massa.
