Kitara vs Calvary
4pm
Royals Park – Butema
Kitara FC returns home at the Royals Park, Butema, hungry to reignite their winning ways in the StarTimes Uganda Premier League against Calvary FC.
While the last two outings; a hard fought stalemate against Vipers and a narrow defeat away to KCCA weren’t the results the Royals craved, they have only sharpened their focus. They have temporarily slipped to third with 47 points, but the fire in the belly burns brighter than ever. Just five points separate Kitara from leaders Vipers. Every match is a final now, and Wednesday is their next crucial step back towards the summit.
The reverse fixture saw Wasswa Bbosa’s side emerge 1-0 visitors at Midigo play ground, thanks to Chrispus Asiki decisive first half strike. That fighting spirit, that clinical edge; it’s what Bbosa demands again on home soil.
“We know we have not been ruthless enough in front of goal recently,” the gaffer stated bluntly. “Against KCCA, chances were created but not buried. This week, it’s been all about sharpening our finishing and tightening our defense. The Royals Park faithful deserve nothing less than a winning performance, and we are determined to deliver exactly that and reclaiming our place in the top two is non negotiable.”
Calvary FC arrive at our fortress carrying the weight of the league table. Though they savored their first win of the season against Buhimba Saints and followed it with a draw against Lugazi FC, they remain rooted at the bottom with just 9 points from 23 games (W1, D6, L16).
They have conceded a league high 36 goals while scoring only 9. But make no mistake, wounded lions can be dangerous. They know they face a Kitara side unbeaten at home in the league this season, a record the Royals are fiercely determined to defend.
With SC Villa breathing down their necks, anything less than three points risks seeing Kitara slip further. Their destiny is in our own hands.
