Two Ugandan football giants with contrasting fortunes collide this Friday at Wankulukuku Stadium as SC Villa, who could go fourth, host struggling KCCA, desperate for their first away win.
Coach Dusan Stojanovic promises: “We want to see that we play to our best. We know we are playing a good side but we are ready. The morale of the players is good and we have to show our ability.”
KCCA on the Mend:
KCCA, on the other hand, find themselves languishing near the relegation zone. A victory is crucial to spark their flagging season.
Coach Abdullah Mubiru sees hope in his improving players: “The journey to getting back to where we belong is still a long one but what gives me hope is that the players are giving in maximum effort. The playing, the points and the rest will come in steadfast.”
Last season, KCCA dominated Villa with home and away wins. However, Villa’s recent form makes them formidable opponents and they could get a rare victory over their rivals.
Top-Spot Tussle in Kitende:
Meanwhile, in Kitende, Vipers face a stern test in the form of the current league leaders BUL FC. The venoms are aware that a draw maintains the status quo and will seek victory to go top for the first time this season.
In the other fixture of the day, Bright Stars led by player of the month Nelson Senkatuka will host UPDF in an early relegation six pointer at Kavumba in Wakiso.
