Khalifa has warned his team to avoid conceding at home

“We have to get a better margin before the return fixture and we should avoid conceding at home if we are to progress to the next round.”

We have worked on the negatives in the defeat to Ethiopia and we are very ready to take on South Africa.”

Stated Khalifa

Uganda shred Kenya 10-3 in the previous round while South Africa beat Mozambique 4-2 on aggregate to reach this stage.

The aggregate winning team of this tie will face Ghana or the winner between Malawi and Zambia.
