KCCA FC vs Kitara FC
8pm
Omondi stadium
The Royals travel to the Omondi Stadium in Lugogo this Friday night for a high stakes StarTimes Uganda Premier League encounter against KCCA FC.
Fresh from a hard fought goalless draw against league leaders Vipers SC, Kitara arrives with confidence. KCCA, meanwhile, seeks redemption after a narrow 1-0 defeat to SC Villa at the FUFA Stadium in Kadiba. This result adds extra spice to the Lugogo showdown.
The stakes are very clear for Wasswa Bbosa’s men; a victory is vital. A loss would see us slip to third place on 47 points, one point behind our Friday night opponents. KCCA desperately needs a win, but they face a formidable challenge in a Kitara side that has consistently impressed this season.
“We didn’t score in our last league game in Kitende, we have tried to address that department ahead of tomorrow’s Star times Uganda premier League game against KCCA FC in Lugogo”. Kitara FC Coach Wasswa Bbosa
The reverse fixture at the Royals Park in Butema ended 1-1. Alex Emmanuel Wasswa put us ahead, only for KCCA’s Sharif Ssengendo to equalize late in the 83rd minute. While KCCA boasts a strong recent home record at Lugogo (unbeaten since a February loss to NEC, with wins against BUL, Police FC, and Express FC), they face our resilient away form. Kitara is unbeaten in our last six league matches on the road.
Kitara FC last six away games:
Vipers 0-0 Kitara
Mbarara City 0-1 Kitara
UPDF FC 1-1 Kitara
Maroons 0-1 Kitara
Calvary 0-1 Kitara
NEC FC 3-3 Kitara
KCCA FC’ last six home games:
KCCA FC 3-0 Express FC
KCCA FC 2-1 Police FC
KCCA FC 2-1 BUL FC
KCCA FC 0-1 UPPC FC
KCCA FC 4-0 UPDF
KCCA FC 1-0 Buhimba FC
Our past visits to Lugogo have been mixed, including defeats (2-0, 4-0) and a victory (3-1). This time, we are determined to improve that record and capitalize on Vipers 1-1 draw with SC Villa. A win would close the gap to the Venoms to just two points.
