“We have to change to style of play because of the surface of the pitch and I think the opposition is going to come all out to see that they win because this game is affecting us in two ways for our side, if we draw we are through if we win, we are through but for them, it is one mission, they have to win.
“So it is going to be a very hard game tomorrow. “We need to come out very organised and ready because this game is a do-or-die, these guys [Nyamityobora] need a win seriously, and once a team scores two goals against the former champions, then as a coach you need to get worried.

It was the Venoms who started the match on a high note as Disan Galiwango delivered a good ball from a free-kick in the seventh minute but it was punched out for a fruitless corner by KCCA goalkeeper Charles Lukwago.
The Venoms, led by coach Fred Kajoba, continued to threaten their visitors and in the 20th minute Galiwango crossed the ball into the box, and Cesar Manzoki rose the highest but directed his header wide.
Sensing danger, KCCA started to threaten, looking to break the deadlock and Andrew Kigozi who had a good chance in the 29th minute to put them ahead but despite a good delivery from Ashraf Mugume, his final decision inside the box was poor as his weak effort went wide.
Godfrey Lwesibwa would have opened the score inside five minutes but he ended up heading Arthur Kiggundu s cross from a good position wide. Issa Lumu could not connect well with Lwesibwa s corner moments later as the hosts saw another chance go to waste.
George Ssenkaaba saw a number of his chances, including a bicycle kick, and a close-range shot, go out even though he had beaten Peter Magambo as he surged goalwards.
The rather wasteful home side, however, got an opener through Kambale in the first minute of added time before the teams went back for the half-time break.
Ssenkaba s replacement Frank Kalanda, who came on as the second half started, could not convert a number of chances that came his way. His combination with Kambale midway through the second half could have led to a second goal but Charles Lukwago in KCCA s goal was alert enough to deal with the danger.
