COACH Pedro Pasculli was a relieved but not ultimately contented man after Cranes’ victory over Tanzania.
Two days after the 3-1 win over the Taifa Stars, the Argentine believes there is room for improvement and wants Cranes to show that against the same opponent today.
Uganda plays the Tanzanians again in a Nations Cup build up game at Nakivubo.
Uganda is fine-tuning for a crucial Group 13 clash against Rwanda’s Amavubi Stars while Tanzania plays Zambia in Group 3.
Both matches take place next weekend.
Striker Ekuchu Kasongo struck twice on Thursday and Pasculli may stick with the Hassan Mubiru-Kasongo partnership.
The Argentine is still trying all sorts of experiments but must also find a quick solution to the midfield holding role where Cranes is looking uncomfortable.
Neither Hood Kaweesa nor Jimmy Kidega has looked in control and Tanzania had acres of space prior to goals by Kasongo and Philip Ssozi that came in quick succession towards half time.
Bana Zidane and Sam Mubiru have done their chances no harm in the last two games and should start as central defence partners in front of goalkeeper Ibrahim Mugisha.
Cranes’ Probable line up
Mugisha, Kateregga, Rwebuga, Mubiru, Zidane, Kidega, Ssozi, Magumba, Kasongo, Mubiru, Obua
