Kitara FC vs Lugazi FC
4pm
Royals Park Stadium
Kitara seek to complete a double over Lugazi FC in the StarTimes Uganda premier league when they meet this evening at the Royals Park stadium in Butema.
The Royals registered a 3-0 victory over Steven Bogere’s side away at the Lugazi stadium in Najjembe in the reverse fixture last September thanks to Frank Tumwesigye strike and Jude Ssemugabi’s brace on match day one.
Wasswa Bbosa’s charges are hoping to push URA and BUL but suffered a setback last week. They embarrassingly lost to a ten man NEC FC away at the Omondi stadium in their last match and the gaffer will be searching for a positive comeback.
“We made costly mistakes in our last game, we failed to convert the chances into goals while we also conceded cheap goals. However, we have been working upon that in practice in the past few days and we are up to this task,” Bbosa said.
Despite starting well 2025 putting in some good displays and managed to moved out of the relegation zone, the Leaders have lately been inconsistent.
Three wins, three draws and four losses has been the performance in their 10 matches.
Lugazi’s last victory was registered in March, over struggling Mbale Heroes whom they beat 1-3 and they come into this game off a two all home draw with UPDF FC.
Their visit at the Royals Park won’t be an easy task either, Kitara have not lost game here since Bbosa took charge.
KCCA FC were the latest victims of a 4-0 humbling that subsequently got their gaffer Abdullah Mubiru axed.
A win for the Royals will see them close the gap on fourth placed URA FC who are one point superior on 39.
Team news:
Benjamin Nyakoojo is undergoing rehabilitation after suffering an injury setback during our 4-0 win over KCCA.
Kabon Living is ruled out with a knock but Frank Zaga Tumwesigye and sensational youngster, John Byaruhanga return and will be available for selection.
