2023 Afcon Qualifiers: Uganda starting XI vs Niger - Okello dropped, Bayo starts

After he made key saves to deny Algeria more goals in their first qualifier, which the East Africans lost by a 2-0 margin, the former KCCA FC star has been maintained in the starting XI.

Charles Lukwago

In one of the changes made, Kayondo replaces Isaac Muleme, who drops to the bench.

Aziz Kayondo

As Uganda are looking for a first win in their group, Kizito has been deployed at right back and should be alert enough to stop the visitors from causing havoc from the wing.

Gavin Kizito

He made vital blocks that denied Algeria an opportunity to record a victory with a bigger margin.The Vipers SC captain needs to be as impervious as possible as they play in front of their home fans against the Central African nation.

Halid Lwaliwa

Once again, coach Micho has preferred Mugambi’s partnership with Lwaliwa at the heart of the Cranes defence.

Bevis Mugabi

Although he was quite reckless in the first half against Algeria and consequently received a yellow card, the Yanga SC deep-lying midfielder improved in the second half and stopped the Desert Foxes’ counter-attacks on three occasions.His teammates will look to him for a far improved battle in midfield.

Khalid Aucho

Just like the rest of his attacking teammates against Algeria, Karisa looked isolated and thus did not pose any threat at all.Against Niger, he is expecting to be as effective as possible as he and Miya lead the goal-hunting exploration at home.

Milton Karisa

His start means he has an opportunity to atone for the mistake of missing a penalty in Algeria in their first qualifier.

Farouk Miya

He came on as a second substitute previously, and this time around, the youngster makes a start ahead of Marvin Youngman.

Bobosi Byaruhanga

The former Simba SC forward - who is also the captain - will operate along the right-wing as the under-pressure Cranes look for their first points.

Emmanuel Okwi

He could not face Algeria due to what the coach said was a documentation hiccup.But the former Vipers SC striker gets a place in the first team as they face their opponents in what is their third meeting in the Afcon qualifiers.

Fahad Bayo
