UPL Match Day 3:
KCCA FC 🆚 Kitara FC
Omondi Stadium
7pm
Friday, September 27, match day three of the StarTimes Uganda Premier League promises loads of adrenaline. KCCA and Kitara FC face each other in a match that has become synonymous with intensity.
Expectations are really high since we are talking about two of the sides competing for this season’s title. KCCA have gone over three years without winning it while the Royals have made it clear that they will be going for it.
This encounter carries all the tension of an early season title decider.
The host goes into this game fresh from a draw with BUL FC away at the Lugazi stadium and are yet to lose a game following a 1-0 victory over URA FC in the league opening match.
On the other hand, Brian Ssenyondo’s side had a good start thrashing Lugazi FC 3-0 but found themselves losing their second game 1-2 to NEC. That said, the Royals will be seeking to bounce back to winning ways.
The match will be held at the Omondi Stadium, which has, recently been a good hunting ground for the Brian Ssenyondo coached outfit. They have won two and drawn one in their three visits including the FUFA Super8 tournament matches.
Kitara FC forward George Senkaaba promises a positive response when they play the Kasasiro boys.
” We lost our previous game at home, that’s the surprising bit about the league because you win, draw and lose some but we have moved on since. We have made good preparations and we are all focused, charged and ready to make a better account of ourselves on Friday night,” he vowed.
A win for Brian Ssenyondo will be the third over his opposite number who has not beaten Kitara since his appointment last year.
Team News:
Jasper Aheebwa Baguma is unavailable with a muscle problem. The defender pulled a muscle during our loss to NEC last week.
Likewise, Solomon Okwalinga misses the tie with a hamstring injury.
The rest of the squad is in fine shape thus Brian Ssenyondo will have a healthy pool of players to select from.
