The widely criticised shot-stopper is battling with Stanley Nwabili and Olorunleke Ojo for the number one spot.
According to camp sources, Uzoho has, however, done better than his rivals in training.
The 25-year-old is highly favoured to be between the sticks against the Nzalang Nacional at the Alassanne Quattara Stadium, Ebimpe, Abidjan, on Sunday.
Nwabili will be the second choice, while Ojo will be the third goalkeeper.
The encounter against Equatorial Guinea will kick off on Sunday at 3pm Nigeria time.
