- 2019 Africa Cup of Nations Qualifiers (Group L)
- 2nd Leg: Tuesday, 16th October 2018:
- Lesotho Likuena Vs Uganda Cranes – Setsoto Stadium, 7:00 PM in Uganda (6 PM Local Time)
Uganda Cranes assistant coach Mathias Lule is hopeful the team will achieve its prime objective of securing maximum points when they take on Lesotho Likuena at Setsoto stadium in the mountainous city of Maseru on Tuesday.
Speaking to Kawowo Sports from the team’s lavish base at Avani Maseru Hotel, Lule believes the early travel arrangements are an added impetus to the team confidence and preparations.
After the Saturday game in Uganda which we won 3-0 at Namboole stadium, we traveled well with a chartered plane thanks to the Government. We managed to hold two training sessions so that we get used to that particular astro turf as well as the weather which is quite different from Uganda’s. The mood in the camp is great and we are ready to battle throughout the game
The two countries face off in the return leg of the 2019 AFCON Group L qualifier.
Uganda Cranes technical staff is most likely to introduce defender Murushid Jjuuko who missed the Saturday game through suspension.
The decisions on the final team will be affirmed by the head of technical and head coach Sebastien Desabre who has handled the team since January 2018.
