Teams News:
Coach Zdravko Logarusic is likely to make changes in the team that played Mozambique. Shadreck Nyahwa is a doubt after picking a knock on Wednesday.

The coach said: “We have players who are tired. Because most of the boys haven’t been playing regular football, they lack match fitness. There will be some new players in the starting team and the other new players will come from the bench because we have to spread the energy proper because the games are too close to each other.”
