She Corporate FC head coach Mustapha Kayinda has expressed confidence in his team’s ability to secure victory as they prepare to host Uganda Martyrs Lubaga Women FC at Bugembe Stadium on Sunday morning.
The match, part of the Finance Trust Bank FUFA Women Super League’s matchday 15, presents a crucial opportunity for both sides to climb up the league table.
After a challenging first round, both She Corporate and Uganda Martyrs have shown notable improvement in their recent performances.
Uganda Martyrs have secured six points in three matches, while She Corporate has collected four points in the same period.
The visitors head into this encounter with momentum after a narrow 1-0 victory over She Maroons, a match where their captain, Latifah Nakasi, scored the decisive goal, earning her a nomination for the February Player of the Month award.
On the other hand, She Corporate are looking to recover from a 2-0 defeat to Kampala Queens in their last match.
However, they remain optimistic after securing three points in their first home game of the second round at Bugembe Stadium.
She Corporate edged Uganda Martyrs 1-0 in the reverse fixture earlier this season, with Whisper Alomo’s early first-half goal proving decisive.
However, history also favours the visitors, as they claimed a 2-0 win the last time they visited She Corporate’s home ground.
With both teams fighting for crucial points, Sunday’s clash is expected to be fiercely contested.
Speaking ahead of the encounter, She Corporate head coach Mustapha Kayinda expressed confidence in his team’s preparation and game plan.
“Despite a few injuries, the team is in excellent shape, and our last training session was highly productive. We’ve planned for the game as a technical team, and we’re going to exploit the opponent’s weaknesses and neutralize their strengths. I’m confident the girls will execute the game plan and win the game,” Kayinda stated.
Defender Rebecca Nandhego echoed her coach’s sentiments, emphasizing the importance of defensive organization and teamwork.
“We need to be organized and communicate well in defense and also be solid to stop Uganda Martyrs. It’s going to be a tough encounter, and we’ll fight for three points. If we create chances going forward, we’ll get positive results,” Nandhego said.
Currently, Uganda Martyrs sit in seventh place with 16 points. A victory could see them rise to fifth place if Rines and She Maroons fail to win their respective fixtures.
Meanwhile, She Corporate, positioned ninth with 15 points, also have the opportunity to climb to fifth place should they secure a win and their rivals falter.
Other games on the day will see, Rines SS take on defending Champions Kawempe Muslim in Wakiso while She Maroons hope to get back to winning ways against She Makerere in Luzira.
