SUPL Fixture Match day 6:
25 -Oct- 2024
Kitara FC 🆚 BUL FC
4pm
Royals Park Stadium – Butema
Kitara face off with BUL this Friday, October 25 in a crucial Uganda Premier League clash at the Royals Park Stadium in Butema.
This encounter comes at a time when the two teams are struggling and are separated by just one point and sit in the lower half of the table.
BUL have 5 points while Kitara have 4, and both sides have taken their fans by surprise with how they have performed. One win from their five opening games is not the start they expected in the league this season.
The Royals come into this game from a 1-1 stalemate with the Ankole Lions which ended their three match losing streak while Abby Kikomeko’s side picked their first win of the season after overcoming URA 0-1 last week away at the Hamz stadium in Nakivubo.
Coming into this tie, Kitara will be targeting to end October on a good note and also build on the point they picked away from Kakyeka stadium.
“We were happy with the positive attitude and character shown in the one all draw with Mbarara City last week, the fight was good and we want to build on that performance tomorrow when we host BUL,” Kitara head coach, Brian Ssenyondo said.
Kitara has not won a league fixture against the Eastern Giants and playing at the Royals Park Stadium presents the best opportunity to change this run.

This will be the fifth league meeting between these two sides. There has been no win for the Royals thus far, they drew 0-0 in their last home game in Masindi earlier this year.
Kitara has lost two game at the Royals Park in Butema, 1-2 and 0-1 to NEC and Police FC respectively while BUL has a DLW tall in the last 3 outings.
They have drawn 0-0 with Police FC, lost 2-1 to SC Villa and beaten URA 0-1.
