- UPDF Vs KCCA – 4PM
The kasasiro boys of KCCA FC will face UPDF FC in the Startimes Uganda Premier League match to be played at Bombo military playgrounds as they target maximum points on the road in their pursuit to revive a fading season.
The lugogo based side managed to return to winning ways as they thrashed Mbale Heroes 5-0 at home in their previous league encounter and this will be a huge boost as they face a stubborn side of UPDF FC.
Head Coach Abdallah Mubiru anticipates a tough tie away from home but he remains positive of collecting maximum points despite missing a couple of players who are out nursing injuries.
“We have prepared well against UPDF FC, which is one of the stubborn sides to KCCA FC. The boys have trained well all week; the mood in camp is high, and we hope to use our previous game as a momentum shift as we head into the final bend of the league.” Said Abdallah Mubiru the head coach.
KCCA FC will miss up to six players who are sidelined as they travel to Bombo to face the Army boys.
Steven Munguchi and Julius Poloto who have not seen a lot of playing time this season are out due to illness whereas Mustafa Mujuzi is nursing a muscle injury.
