Preview: Namboole, Part II
KCCA seeks redemption against SC Villa at Namboole in what promises to be an electrifying Kampala derby, showcasing two of the country’s powerhouse teams.
Following a 2-2 draw with Bright Stars, KCCA’s coach, Abdallah Mubiru, expressed dissatisfaction with his senior players’ performance, particularly criticizing their recklessness, leading to a fall-out with Mustafa Kizza.
This draw halted KCCA’s five-game winning streak, dimming their slim chances of clinching the league title as they sit nine points behind leaders Kitara
Meanwhile, SC Villa managed a narrow 1-0 victory over Gaddafi with a late goal from Patrick Jonah Kakande, keeping their championship hopes alive as they currently sit fourth in the league standings.
With a potential win, SC Villa could climb to the joint top spot if Vipers and BUL draw, especially notable considering Villa has played two games fewer than leaders Kitara.
KCCA will be looking for a rare double over Villa having won the Wankulukuku game 2-1 in the first round: Etienne Katenga and Ashraf Mugume scored for KCCA while Charles Lwanga’s striked proved to be a consolation.
