- KCCA (Uganda) Vs FUS Rabat (Morocco) – StarTimes stadium, Lugogo @ 4pm
Uganda’s representatives in the CAF Confederation Cup KCCA seek a decent victory over Morocco’s FUS Rabat in their last home group game if they are to reach the last eight.
The Kasasiro host the game at StarTimes stadium, Lugogo while at the bottom of Group A thanks to an inferior goal difference and Mike Mutebi and his charges are aware of how important a good win is.
“First, we target maximum points,” Mutebi told the press. “In this group, everyone has proved they can win at home and so we need to keep our record and then see what happens in our last game,” he added.
The gaffer has also promised to name his best ever eleven for the club since taking over two years ago with likelihood to hand Ibrahim Saddam Juma his debut and also name returning Jackson Nunda as well.
In a very long time, this will be my best line up. Expect Nunda and Saddam to start and also compliment Muzamiru Mutyaba in midfield.
Like KCCA, every other team in the group has six points, with two wins at home and as many losses away.
Team News
KCCA will have no defender Habib Kavuma (suspension) but are boosted by the clearance of Saddam, Nunda and young defender Peter ‘Machete’ Magambo.
But they miss the services of goalkeeper Benjamin Ochan who missed the last training session while the second choice Douglas Kisembo hasn’t trained since the 2-1 loss to Rivers United more than a week ago.
On the other hand, the visitors have at least four players suspended for the game and travelled with only 15 players but have been boosted by clearances of four players including Ivorian Lamine Diakite.
