Uganda captain Denis Onyango has warned Egypt to expect "fireworks" during their 2018 World Cup qualifier in Kampala on Thursday.
The last time the two sides met, Egypt beat Uganda with an 89th minute goal at the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations in Gabon.
The Cranes' goalkeeper says it adds extra spice to their Group E tie.
"It's going to be fireworks in Kampala because they know what kind of a team we are," Onyango told BBC Sport.
"They beat us at the Afcon in the last minute of the game, I think it shows their experience and we lost concentration at the back.
"Winning the home game will set the pace for us before we travel for the return leg in Alexandria on September 5th," said Onyango, who plies his trade in South Africa with Mamelodi Sundowns.
Egypt, record seven times African champions, are currently top of Group E following wins over Congo Brazzaville and Ghana.
Uganda are second in the group, two points adrift, following a victory over Congo Brazzaville and an away draw with the Black Stars of Ghana.
"I think we started off well against Ghana and got the result against Congo in Kampala and it's an opportunity for us to go top of the group if we get the results against Egypt," said Ongyango.
