Wakiso Giants head to Barifa Stadium in Arua to face Arua Hill in an enticing StarTimes Uganda Premier League game on Wednesday.

Arua Hill is a home of three former Wakiso Giants players (Gaddafi Wahab, Richard Anyama and Geriga Atendele) who all have a point to prove against their former boss.

Wakiso Giants sits seventh on the log with 27 points, while Arua Hill are sixth with 29 points.

Wakiso Giants come into this game desperate for victories away from home as they won only twice on the road.

Their opponents, Arua Hill come into this winless in the last two games, losing to Vipers SC and drawing against BUL so they will hope to return to winning ways against the Purple Sharks.

In the last two games, Wakiso Giants has conceded seven goals with scoring, a norm that isn’t for the purple sharks.

Arua Hill SC won the first leg away from home in Wakiso 2-1 with goals from Gaddafi Gadihno and Alfred Leku.
