- Martyrs of Benina, Benghazi 7pm (EAT)
Uganda’s flag bearers in the Caf Confederation Cup are confident of overturning a 3-2 goal defeat when they face off again with Al Hilal Benghazi of Libya.
The battle at the Martyrs of Benina provides an opportunity for the Royals to avenge the defeat with a two-goal margin victory enough to put the Ugandan side through.
Denis Omedi scored the second goal on the night and is confident of doing the right things on the day.
“We didn’t get the desired result in the first leg, but every player gave their all, especially in the second half,” he said to the club media.
“It will be a very tough game, but we have the determination and confidence to go far,” he stated.
The Royals will miss the services of goalkeeper Crispus Kusiima who was sent off in the first leg leaving Farouk Yawe with the task of stopping Muhammad Shaban and company from hitting the back of his net.
Yawe will hope Ronald Otti, Maxwell Owachigiu, Benjamin Nyakoojo and Arthur Kiggundu are in good form on the day.
Probable XI: Yawe (GK), Otti, Nyakoojo, Owachigiu ©, Kiggundu, Ndihabwe, Muhumuzza, Muber, Ssemugabi, Aheebwa, Omedi.
