Uganda Team News
Uganda's squad saw the withdrawal of Khalid Aucho and Abdul Aziizi Kayondo due to injuries, posing a challenge for coach Paul Put in terms of squad depth.
However, with a talent like Fahad Bayo, who has a knack for finding the back of the net, the Cranes remain optimistic about their attacking prospects.
Ghana Team News
Ghana, missing key players Mohammed Kudus and Thomas Partey for the March friendlies, will rely on the experience and skill of Jordan Ayew and Antoine Semenyo to ignite their attack.
The absence of Jerome Opoku due to a red card against Nigeria opens up opportunities for other players in the squad to step up.

Ghana's depth and historical edge might just tilt the balance in their favour.
