Uganda Cup Round of 16:
3 -Mar- 2024
Kitara v SC Villa
4pm
Masindi stadium
Kitara will be keen to make it to the last eight of the Uganda Cup when they host SC Villa at the Masindi stadium this evening.
The round of 16 draw took place on Monday morning, a few days after the Royals had ejected Gaddafi while Villa knocked out Synergy FC in the round of 32.
The two sides will meet again at Masindi after drawing one all in an intense league encounter less than a month ago.
Kitara took the lead through Brian Aheebwa and thought they had taken maximum points only for Jonah Kakande to equalize and make sure the spoils are shared.
The Jogoos have not been active since ejecting Synergy in the Uganda cup and return to Masindi to face an in form Royals entity who will be eager to impress their fans.
We arehappy to be facing them again.The last meeting was a bit frustrating but we’ve prepared ourselves very well, rectified the previous mistakes and we hope to advance to next stage this time,” Kitara assistant coach Issa Serwanja said.
Team news:
Jude Ssemugabi and Ibrahim Magandaazi are the only absentees for Brian Ssenyondo while the rest of the squad is healthy and ready for duty.
