Kitara FC 🆚 Express FC
Royals Park – Butema
4pm
Improving Kitara FC look to build on momentum at the Royals Park in Butema where they host Express FC this evening in the StarTimes Uganda Premier League.
The Hoima based club took their time to hit top gear this season but they could find themselves in 6th position on the log should they win with more than one goal over the Red Eagles.
Kitara won their last outing comprehensively thumping Maroons 0-4 in Luzira and picked their first away victory over the warders.
Bbossa started with two straight defeats on the road (URA and Bright Stars) but he has overseen three wins and a draw in four league games to take his side out from the drop zone with 14 points.
Meanwhile, their opponents come into this fixture off a home loss to URA and Kaddu Badru faces an up hill task to guide his side back to winning ways.
However, he will bank on his side’s decent away record that has seen them not lose a game since their 3-0 defeat to Vipers on September 19th.
The Red Eagles have picked draws against Police, Wakiso Giants, BUL and a win over KCCA in Lugogo recently.
Kitara FC milder, David Ndihabwe said after the team’s final practice in Butema, “We not only want to end the year on a high but also continue with the good run and move further up the table. We face an equally great side but we want to continue scoring and defending well like we have done in the last three games and it’s what’s we shall be aiming at.”
Wasswa Bbosa leads the cast that will be turning guns against their former employers. Arthur Kiggundu, David Ndihabwe, George Senkaaba, Hamim Semakula and Chris Kusiima have all featured for the Reds previously.
Team news:
Jasper Aheebwa and Titus Ssematimba missed the trip to Luzira through a knock and muscle problem respectively but are fully fit and will be available for selection.
Ivan Sserubiri and Moses Sseruyidde remain unavailable through injuries.
