Preview: Kitara Hope To Widen Gap
Kitara aims to extend their lead in the Uganda Premier League as they take on Mbarara City at Masindi.
Currently topping the table with 47 points, just one point ahead of Vipers, Kitara seeks to widen the gap with a victory before Vipers’ match against third-placed BUL at Namboole the following day.
Coach Brian Ssenyondo will hope they treat each of their last four games as finals, especially with three of them being played at home.
Aware of the significance of goal difference, Kitara must now score abundantly to maintain an advantage.
They come into this fixture on the back of a 3-1 first leg win over Pajule Lions in the Uganda Cup semifinals.
While Mbarara City aims to disrupt Kitara’s plans, their lack of success in away games, with only five goals scored in 11 matches, poses a significant challenge.
The previous encounter between the two teams ended in a goalless draw at Kakyeka.
