Morley Byekwaso will be back in the dugout for the Kasasiro Boys as they travel to Bombo Military Barracks playgrounds to take on UPDF FC in a StarTimes Uganda Premier League game on Tuesday.
The KCCA FC gaffer is back after missing his side’s two previous league games against Police and SC Villa due to illness.
Upon his return, he spoke to on the club website saying;”I have recovered so well, I am fit and I am ready to go on with my job. I want to thank the coaches who took charge when I was away and my players for the hard work. We are fully focused on getting results.”
“We need to win games and we know we have a problem of not taking away chances that we create.”
“We have tried to work on that during the international break and we have the confidence that we will get the results” he added
KCCA FC sit third on the Uganda Premier League table with 42 points, seven behind leaders Vipers SC and one behind URA FC who have played three games more.
On the other side, there is a UPDF FC team that won their first game in 14 games while away in Jinja at the Gaddafi Arena against the Solider Boys in Gaddafi FC. They now have 27 points from 23 games and are 15 points behind KCCA FC on the log.
UPDF have got a good blend experienced players with the young ones from Mussa Mudde to Ivan Ahimbisibwe and many other young players who i think they are going to be very tough and dangerous.
Once you analyse the way they have been playing this season, they have been very compact and hard to break hence accumulating a number of draws since they don’t also score many.
Last Result
UPDF FC were 3-1 winners against Gadaffi FC, away in the previous league game.
The Kasasiro Boys shared spoils with the Cops in the previous league game. The game ending one all at the MTN Omondi Stadium, Lugogo.
In the reverse fixture between the two sides, KCCA FC was inspired by a Charles Lwanga’s late goal to win it 2-1 at home in a miraculous come back.
What Could A Win Do?
A win for KCCA FC will take them back to second place, two points above the Tax collectors and five within the reach of the Log leaders Vipers SC. ( who play later on against Mbarara City)
For the army side, a win will lift them to 9th in place of Police FC and level on points with Gaddafi FC.
