Hamz Stadium, Nakivubo
Kitara FC turn their attention back to the league after their CAF Confederation Cup run ended against Al Ahly in Egypt last Sunday. Wasswa Bbosa and his players now travel to Nakivubo to face UPDF FC on Saturday evening, looking for three points.
This will be the Royals’ fifth league game of the season, while most teams have played two or three more. Bbosa knows how important the coming games are beginning with Saturday’s task.
“We picked up valuable experience on the continent, and we hope to use it in our league campaign,” Bbosa said after the team’s final training session. “We also want to build on the momentum, get good results and close the gap on our competitors.”
The Hoima based side are still unbeaten. They picked up their first away win of the season in Bukedea, beating Kataka 1-2. Before that, they drew 1-1 with both SC Villa and Express FC, and beat Kigezi Homeboys 1-0 at Hoima City Stadium.
UPDF FC arrive in a different mood. They lost 1-0 at home to URA FC on Tuesday, a result decided by a Denis Ssekitoleko own goal. It was their third defeat in seven games and leaves them 11th on the table with eight points.
History also favours the visitors. Kitara have won half of their eight meetings with UPDF FC.
