Preview: Kitara Seek To Strengthen Lead
Kitara will aim to solidify their position at the top of the Uganda Premier League as they face URA in Masindi.
The hosts currently lead with 40 points, just one ahead of BUL, but hold a five-point advantage over Vipers, who have played two games less.
After a goalless draw against Maroons in Luzira, Kitara is eager to bounce back with a win.
Throughout the season, Kitara has only faltered twice at home, suffering a loss against Maroons and settling for a draw against SC Villa.
There’s a growing confidence within the club about their title prospects this season, a sentiment Coach Brian Seenyondo and his team are determined to pursue.
Meanwhile, URA poses a formidable challenge, boasting quality players and resilience.
URA managed to hold BUL to a 1-1 draw at Njeru, a performance they seek to replicate or surpass against the league leaders.
Under head coach David Obua, URA has been entertaining to watch, although they struggle at times to maintain a clean sheet after reckless defending.
Currently seventh in the standings, URA trails Kitara by nine points but has played one game less.
