Little known Miembeni, who upset holders APR 2-1 in the group stages, plan to show the Ugandan side respect. “I have never seen URA play but I hear they are such a good side and I give them respect for that. We might not be any where near their class but we shall play with caution,” Olaba told Daily Monitor.

The match kicks off at 1.45p.m. and will be followed by the mouth-watering quarter final between Simba and APR at 3.45.p.m.
URA coach Moses Basena has been buoyed by the quick recovery of midfielders Tony Mawejje and Ismail Kigozi. Mawejje was down with a toothache while Kigozi could not kick because of a toe injury.

“It’s not going to be an easy game especially at this stage of the championship where any mistake can cost you elimination,” Basena explained. In case of a stalemate, teams will decide the winner via a penalty shoot out. There is no extra time. URA were losing finalists in 2007.
