SUPL: Match day 27
6th May 2025
Express FC 🆚 Kitara FC
Hamz stadium
7PM
Kitara return to action in the StarTimes Uganda premier league tonight at the Hamz stadium – Nakivubo where they face Express FC in their second last away game of this current campaign.
The Royals come into this game off a narrow 1-0 defeat away to Vipers in the Uganda Cup and will be seeking their first league win in four matches.
Wasswa Bbosa’s side last win was registered on 5th April when they beat KCCA 4-0 at the Royals Park stadium. They subsequently lost to NEC before recording barren stalemates with Lugazi FC, SC Villa and Wakiso Giants.
In the reverse fixture played in Hoima, Kitara humiliated Express 7-0 with George Senkaaba netting a hat trick against his former side.
However, a lot has since changed and a resurgence of sorts has happened at Express thus tonight they will out ot prove a point to their visitors.
For Kitara, completing a double and returning to winning ways will be key on their agenda while for the Red Eagles revenge is all they are seeking.
The Kaddu Badru coached side has also not beaten Kitara in the last three league meetings, last season the Royals beat them both at Wankulukuku and the Masindi stadium.
Two points separate Kitara and Express with the former sitting sixth and the latter eighth on 38 and the 36 points respectively.
Team news:
Titus Ssematimba returns for Kitara from suspension that saw him miss our 0-0 draw with his former team Wakiso Giants last week.
John Byaruhanga remains sidelined with a hamstring injury while Kabon Living is expected to return in our next fixtures.
