Kitara will go all out against relegation threatened Busoga United when the two sides face off this evening in the StarTimes Uganda Premier league.
The hosts come into this game off a disappointing 1-1 stalemate with Mbarara City FC last week and need to bounce back to winning to stay on course of winning their first league title.
This evening they must pass the Busoga United test if their pursuit for silverware this season is to come alive and any result less than three points will extinguish all the hope left.
On the other hand Busoga United defeated the Royals 2-1 at the start of this year in Njeru and will be further bouyed by their 1-2 victory which they picked at Wankulukuku against Express FC last Sunday.
The visitors are serious about remaining in the league and we can see that they have not lost any of their last three matches and they will be hoping luck accompanies them in Masindi today.
They have beaten Wakiso Giants 2-1, drew 0-0 with URA before edging the Red Eagles 1-2.
Although Kitara defender, Arthur Kiggundu admits this tie won’t be a walk through the park, he’s hopeful his side are favorites to win.
“We know games such as this are not easy, they (Busoga United) are fight to stay in the league and we expect them to come hard, however we have made some things right from our previous games, my teammates are in good shape and we hope to play well and win at home.”
The Royals have not won at home in the league since beating URA FC 3-0 and this is the perfect time to arrest this trend especially against a side that picked maximum points off them in the first round.
Victory for Ssenyondo’s side will not only take them to 51 points and keep their title hopes alive but also boost their morale going into their next fixture away in Kavumba against Bright Stars.
Team news:
George Senkaaba has returned to training after suffering an injury against NEC though this fixture comes quite early for the striker.
Otherwise Ssenyondo has a fit health bill to select from this evening.
