“We have had our last training and all know the condition of the pitch and we are ready to go on for the next match to take out our opponents.”
“Feel that we can get a three match winning streak which will steadily improve on our position on the table.”
“UPDF is a hard working team, to win against them you have to twice be more hard working, they play a physical game and are full of young players.”
“They also have some experienced players like we and I think if we put up a good fight we can overcome them.”
On the other hand, UPDF FC have not had results go their way, having no win in their last eight games of the campaign.
UPDF sit a place away from the red zone in 13th with 7 points winning only once, drawing four and losing six.
