We Have a Plan

Uganda Cranes head coach Abdallah Mubiru has said that his technical team has already got a plan in place to put out Malawi in a do or die AFCON 2021 crucial qualifier fixture in Blantyre on Monday.

Mubiru made the remarks on Saturday morning after the Cranes last training session at the MTN Omondi Stadium, Lugogo, before they depart for Malawi on Sunday.

“We have analyzed and studied our opponents thoroughly well, we already know their strengths and weakness and we will tend to capitalize on their mistakes so as we get the result we want on Monday,” Interim headcoach Abdallah Mubiru said.

There are some doubts in the squad, although Mubiru believes he has well prepared and ready replacements in his squad for those who can not make it to the crucial tie.

“The players are in good condition even though we have a few injury concerns in our squad. Nevertheless, we still have able replacements who are committed to take on the task of collecting maximum points from Malawi on Monday.”

We Have a Plan

The Uganda Cranes sit second on the log in group B with 8 points collected in five games and any positive result against Malawi on Monday will seal them a third consecutive AFCON finals berth. Burkina Faso who sit top currently are already qualified to the finals and they are to face the bottom South Sudan in their last group encounter.

The last time Uganda Cranes played Malawi;

Uganda was pitted against Malawi in the preliminary round of the 2002 Africa Cup of Nations Qualifiers and the first leg was played on 1st July 2000 at Nakivubo War Memorial Stadium.

Under the stewardship of Nigerian coach Harrison Okagbue, Uganda comfortably defeated Malawi 3-1 at home. Daniel Chitsulo got the consolation for the Flames but Hakim Magumba, Hassan Mubiru and Andrew ‘Fimbo’ Mukasa scored for the Cranes.
