Preview: Kitara Can Go Top

As Kitara visit Bright Stars at Kavumba for the penultimate match-day of the 2023/24 Uganda Premier League campaign, there’s no margin for error.

Starting the day in second place with 51 points, tied with SC Villa in third and just a point behind leaders BUL, a win could catapult them to the top if BUL falter against Mbarara City at Kakyeka.

Kitara enters this match fresh from a remarkable comeback against Busoga United, rallying from two goals down to secure victory with goals from Brian Aheebwa, Frank Zaga Tumwesigye, and Living Kabon.

To maintain their position in the title race, Kitara must secure a win, even if BUL triumphs away, setting the stage for a crucial final day clash against Gaddafi in Masindi.

Brian Ssenyondo’s team must start strong to overcome a resilient Bright Stars side and secure the desired result.
