Arua Hill SC VS Bright Stars – Barifa Stadium, Arua.

Former Bright Star’s player Sam Kayongo Ssekamate will aim to haunt his former bosses as Arua Hill host Bright Stars at the Barifa Stadium in Arua.

The forward made a switch from the Stars to the Kongolo at the end of last season after the expiration of his contract.

The first leg between these two sides ended goalless in Arua.

Bright Stars come into this game on the back of a convincing victory over BUL FC last week. They have also lost only one of their five games in the second round.

These string of results have seen them lift from relegation and are now currently above the survival line.

Arua Hill currently sits fifth on the log with 33 points in 20 games. They are currently on a three game unbeaten run since they lost to Vipers in February.

They beat Wakiso Giants and have drawn with both UPDF and BUL FC.

Bright Stars haven’t been good on the road having not won in their last six games away from home. They have lost four times and drawn twice.

Arua Hill, on the other hand have been brilliant at home, having lost just one game at their own turf this season.

What Could This Mean.

Arua Hill will go to 4th position on the log if they defeat Bright Stars.
