The Kobs host Rwanda’s’ Wasps, holding a 2-1 first-leg advantage heading into the return leg of the U23 African Championship Qualifiers at Nakivubo Stadium on Saturday.

“We must control the game and play to win the game,” he added.
Micho added striker Ssentamu Yunus of Tunisian side CS Sfaxien replacing injured Police striker Umar Kasumba.
Despite missing the services of head Coach Jonny Mckinstry (who traveled to Europe for a UEFA Pro Licence course), Wasps’ interim head coach is Vincent Mashami remains positive of overturning a 2-1 first leg deficit.
