Preview: KCCA host relegation threatened UPDF
After defeating rivals SC Villa last week at Namboole, KCCA FC aims to extend their unbeaten streak to 8 league games as they face struggling UPDF in Lugogo.
Under the guidance of Abudallah Mubiru, KCCA has won 6 out of their last 7 matches, with only one draw.
Despite missing some key players, KCCA will rely on their strong home performance as they seek to add to the woes of Pius Ngabo’s team, which they defeated 2-1 in the previous encounter.
Currently placed 6th on the table, KCCA FC hopes a victory will propel them to 4th position.
However, UPDF cannot afford any mistakes, considering every match as a final to salvage their status in the league.
After a well-deserved win against Bright Stars in Bombo, the Army team aims to build on their recent success.
