"This is going to be a very difficult match for us considering the calibre of our opponents," Desabre told journalists.

"We are however not going to sit back and defend, we are going for goals meaning we will attack. But we have to defend well to ensure we do not concede; it is going to be a collective responsibility."

The former Uganda coach added that his opponents have experienced players who know what is expected of them.

"[Yanga] have good players, they are talented and have quality and it makes them dangerous. However, that will not deter us from trying to go for a win, if we give our best I am sure we will it," Desabre concluded.

The match will be played at CCM Kirumba Stadium in Mwanza.
