Meanwhile, this will be the first assignment for new Tanzania coach Honour Janza, who came in to replace fired Kim Poulsen. The Danish tactician was sent packing following Tanzania's 1-0 home defeat to Uganda in the African Nations Championships qualifiers on August 30.

Uganda have been the most dominant side in this fixture as they have won 11 out of the 19 matches they have played against each other so far. Tanzania have only managed four wins.

The last time the Taifa Stars managed to beat the Cranes came in 2019 during an Africa Cup of Nations qualifying fixture where they registered a 3-0 win at Benjamin Mkapa Stadium.

Since then, Uganda have gone ahead to win the last four meetings.
