Preview: Bright Stars Aiming for Breakthrough Victory
Bright Stars are set to chase their maiden win of the season as they host Busoga United at Kavumba.
Initially positioned to challenge for the top half of the table, the team’s performance has fallen short of expectations.
Newly appointed coach Joseph Mutyaba, succeeding Asaph Mwebaze, faces mounting pressure to turn the team’s fortune around.
Despite a winless streak in the first six games, accruing only three points, their challenging home fixtures against formidable opponents like BUL, URA, and Vipers have contributed to their struggle.
Facing Busoga United, perceived as a comparatively weaker side, provides an opportunity for a potential turnaround.
Busoga United has only secured two wins, accompanied by two goals, making them an attainable opponent for Bright Stars.
The club is also poised to announce Peter Onen as the new Technical Director, complementing head coach Vincent Lukyamuzi.
