The Royals will square off against visiting BUL FC in a what is expected to be a thrilling StarTimes Uganda premier league clash at Masindi Stadium on March 29, 2024.
This Good Friday fixture will be crucial for both teams as they seek to make their mark in the league standings, with Brian Ssenyondo’s side keen to stretch their lead on the log and BUL looking to solidify their number two spot.
At the summit with 43 points, Kitara will be looking to maintain their excellent second round run that has seen them unbeaten in six games. The hosts have drawn with SC Villa and Maroons but picked wins over UPDF, Wakiso Giants, KCCA, and URA FC.
On the other hand, the cooking oil producers trail their opponents by four points and have experienced difficulties with only one victory in 6 matches.
Abbey Kikomeko’s side last victory came on February 7, as they beat Bright Stars 2-1 in Njeru. They have since drawn three and lost twice thus will be eager to arrest that poor run when they face league leaders tomorrow.
The reverse fixture at the FUFA Technical center in Njeru ended 2-1 in favour of BUL but the Royals will be banking on their passionate home fans to inspire them past the wounded visitors.
Victory will be crucial for Brian Ssenyondo especially as his side enter into a tricky bend of games against (NEC, Vipers, Express) plus the Uganda cup quarter finals.
