Uganda Premier League

KCCA FC Vs Lugazi FC

MTN Omondi Stadium

Kick-off: 8pm

Lugazi FC return to league action with a trip to KCCA FC on Thursday night (8:00pm). It’s the second consecutive game on the road for the Leaders having played away to Entebbe UPPC before the international break.

After beginning the campaign with an exciting 3-1 victory at home to Calvary, Lugazi lost 2-1 away to UPPC in their second outing despite leading the game until the 71st minute.

For that reason, they will be looking to put more points on the board before hosting URA FC, and hitting the road again, to face Kitara in the coming weeks.

One win and a loss puts the Leaders 6th on the table with three points after two rounds.

KCCA FC have had arguably a strong start to the season, winning one and drawing one to sit in the third place with four points, same as Police, and UPPC but ahead of them on goal difference.

They come into the game off the back of a 2-1 ‘home’ win over SC Villa 12 days ago.

Thursday’s encounter is going to be the third meeting between the two sides in competitive football.

Team News:

Co-head coaches Francis Mugerwa and Steven Bogere are blessed with a full squad to choose from as there are no injuries and/or suspensions apparently.

Co-head coach Mugerwa and goalkeeper Juma Mutebi, who is also a former player for the hosts, look ahead to KCCA FC.

Mugerwa:

“The players are in good shape and we are ready for this game. We lost focus in our previous outing and ended up throwing away all the three points but we took that as a learning opportunity.”

“This time we need to be on top of our game with high concentration levels, and our game reading should be ahead of the opponents by miles. Therefore, our minds are going to be alert to match the opponent.”

Mutebi:

“After losing our previous game, we are going to bounce back stronger because we are very prepared and mentally strong. The coaches have given us very good training, so, I think we are going to win against KCCA FC.”

“We lost to them 5-0 last season but this time we are coming into this game a bit stronger and I believe we shall get the points we want. They ambushed us when we were a bit fatigued as the season was winding up but this time, we are focused to go and beat them.”

“We need to collect points, we need to be have some comfort this season. It is not easy but we are going to fight for points on Thursday.”

“I feel happy going back to Lugogo to play against my former team. I am mentally strong and I believe we shall get points from there.”

Head to Head

Only two games have been played between the two teams, with Lugazi FC drawing one, and losing the other.
