Live on Sanyuka Prime
Kitara FC will be bidding to complete a double over Wakiso Giants when they host them in the StarTimes Uganda Premier, at the Masindi stadium on Tuesday, February 27.
Wakiso Giants opened the score in the reverse fixture at the Kabaka Kyabaggu stadium last October but Kitara came from a goal down to win 1-3 in the second half. The victory was the Royals’ third in a row.
Brian Aheebwa, Denis Omedi and Jude Ssemugabi were on the score sheet for the visitors.
The Royals come into this game high on confidence following a 0-1 win away at KCCA and will be hoping to build on the momentum when they meet the Purple Sharks.
For the visitors, they have blown hot and cold for most of this campaign. They have posted mixed results in their last three games. Daniel Luyinda’s side has lost to Bright Stars, beaten URA FC at home and picked a point from Maroons FC in Luzira so they visit Masindi seeking some consistency.
Their already rough season was further worsened after being dumped out of the Uganda cup last week by West Nile regional league entity Pakwach Young stars thus a quick positive response will be key for them.
Meanwhile, Denis Omedi’s form of late has been impressive scoring five goals in four games including the Uganda cup. The striker is expected to lead Kitara’s attack again as they seek their first league win at home in the second round.
Victory for Kitara will see them temporarily climb at the summit of the log since BUL will not be in action this week after their game versus the Jogoos was postponed.

Jasper Aheebwa was named man of the match in the first leg but will not be available after accumulating three yellow cards.
