Midfielder Ibrahim Sadam Juma and striker Hood Kaweesa are the two changes in the Uganda Cranes starting line up against South Sudan at the 2017 CECAFA Senior Challenge Cup.

Sadam replaces Tadeo Lwanga as Kaweesa takes over Allan ‘The Dancing Rasta’ Kateregga’s places.

During the goal-less draw with Burundi, Sadam was among the unused substitutes as Kaweesa was introduced in the second stanza.

Aside from those two changes made by head coach Moses Basena, the rest of the players remain unchanged.

KCCA goalkeeper Benjamin Ochan is maintained in goal ahead of Tom Ikara and Ismail Watenga.

Vipers skipper Nico Wakiro Wadada and KCCA left back Isaac Muleme start at right and left defensive roles respectively.

The central defensive pairing of Timothy Dennis Awany and team captain Bernard Muwanga is also maintained.

Sadam joins the reigning Airtel FUFA footballer of the year Muzamiru Mutyaba, Allan Kyambadde and Milton Karisa in a compacted midfield.

Derrick Nsibambi and Kaweesa lead the front line in the quest for the much desired goals.

Uganda Cranes XI Vs South Sudan: Benjamin Ochan (GK), Nico Wakiro Wadada, Isaac Muleme, Timothy Awany, Bernard Muwanga (Captain),  Ibrahim Sadam Juma, Allan Kyambadde, Derrick Nsibambi, Muzamiru Mutyaba, Hood Kaweesa and Milton Karisa

Subs: Tom Ikaara (GK), Ismail Watenga (GK), Daniel Isiagi, Aggrey Madoi, Tom Masiko, Joseph  Nsubuga, Shafik Bakaki, Tadeo Lwanga, Nelson Senkatuka, Allan Kateregga, Paul Mucureezi
