The Paul Put Group K topping side settle scores with South Sudan with victory enhancing their chances making it to the 2025 edition.
Khalid Aucho is expected to put in a talismanic performance for Uganda Cranes in the Africa Cup of Nations qualifier clash against South Sudan on Friday as the Paul Put-coached side eye a slot in next year's showpiece.
The former Gor Mahia dynamic midfielder is the current captain of the Cranes after taking the armband on a full-time basis in 2021, following the retirement of Denis Onyango from international football after 16 years of service. Prior to his elevation, Aucho was vice captain.
Auch has helped the East African team to claim top spot in group K with four points from two matches, maintaining unbeaten run in the group after a win over Congo and a draw with South Africa in September.

Four dropped as Firat names Harambee Stars travelling squad for 2025 AFCON qualifiers against Cameroon
Coach Engin Firat names final 24-man squad for Harambee Stars' AFCON qualifiers against Cameroon, dropping four key players.
The veteran player is an asset in the Cranes team because of his all-action performance and the match against South Sudan at the Mandela Stadium, Namboole under floodlights, provides an opportunity for the Yanga player to showcase why he's a leader on and off the pitch.
The 31-year-old is expected to boss the midfield against winless Bright Stars who have shipped out four goals in their two matches while scoring half the number.
Aucho will play in the double pivot midfield and will slot alongside Taddeo Lwanga as Cranes search for their fifth win in seven matches against South Sudan, although only two of those wins have come in the AFCON qualifiers with either winning once.
