KCCA FC will travel to Fortportal to face-off with Tooro United in the Uganda Cup round of 32, two days after they were eliminated from the CAF Confederations Cup by Otoho Doyo.
The Kasasiro boys who defeated their Congolese counterparts 2-0 on Sunday bowed out of Africa’s second premier club competition 3-2 on aggregate following a 3-0 loss in the first leg.
A chance for redemption avails its self in-form of Tooro United as the reigning defending champions seek to reach the round of 16 for the up-tenth time.
However, Tooro United’s head coach Wasswa Bbosa is in no mood to let KCCA have a breather as they are also interested in making it to the next level.
“We treat all games the same way but what makes this different is that it’s a knock out competition,” he said ahead of the game.
“You win and advance and if you lose, you are out and we want to stay in the competition.We respect KCCA as the holders, with quality playing staff and bench but we are at home and that gives us extra morale,” he added.
KCCA are expected to field 16 of the 18 players that featured against Otoho on Sunday with only Filbert Obenchan and Mustafa Kizza missing due to injuries. The duo will be replaced by Bernard Muwanga and Lawrence Bukenya who sat out Sunday’s crunch tie.
To get here, Tooro defeated Entebbe FC 2-0 while KCCA schooled Amuka Bright Stars 8-2.
The other Uganda Cup fixtures on Tuesday: Kireka United Vs Wakiso Giants – Mandela National Stadium (4PM); Kiboga Young Vs St Mary’s – Bamusuuta Ground, Kiboga (4 PM)
