WAKISO GIANTS VS URA FC.

URA FC will be looking for maximum points after their poor run when they visit Wakiso Giants in a league game at Kabaka Kyabaggu Stadium in Wakiso

The Tax Collectors sit seventh with 6 points, a point below their opponent Wakiso Giants and five below leaders BUL.

After a slow start into the season, the visitors have won only once in their last five and will be hoping that they can defend better than they did in their last game against Bright stars where they drew 2-2.

The tax collectors will again need George Senkaaba, Ibrahim Dada and Derrick Nsibambi on top of their game to pull down Wakiso Giants who had picked up a sort of form in recent times.

Ahead of the game, the URA assistant coach Baker Mbowa is confident that his side will collect maximum points.;

We have tried to correct our mistakes from the previous game that cost us 3 points having led 2-0. We want to win at Wakiso Giants which will be a big boost to the entire team.”

I believe with the preps and morale in camp we shall get maximum points.”

The hosts on the other hand, are hoping to maintain their winning run their 1-0 win away from home against UPDF FC.

They face a solid team that is hard to defend and has more quality in depth, but the Ayala coached team will hope to finished off the job without their star players in Titus Ssematimba and Ronald Madoi who are away at the CECAFA U20 with the Uganda Hippos in Sudan.
