Uganda Premier League side Kitara FC will be aiming to extend their winning streak when they host NEC FC at Royal Park, Butema, in Hoima on Thursday, September 19.
The Royals opened their campaign with a convincing 3-0 victory over Lugazi FC and will be looking to build on that momentum.
Kitara captain Maxwell Owachigiu believes the win has provided the team with the belief and motivation to succeed.
“We were lucky to win the first game away to Lugazi, and that is motivational enough to give us belief and win against NEC side,” Owachigiu stated.
“The game against NEC provides a great state to test how ready we are. We need to work so hard as players to see that we help the club to achieve its dreams.”
NEC, on the other hand, will be looking to bounce back from their opening-day defeat.
Former Kitara forward Paul Mucureezi will be facing his former club and is eager to prove his worth.
“For me, facing my former side is an extra motivation,” Mucureezi shared.
“The goal is always to show what I am still capable of offering, but the most important thing is to help the team get a good result.”
The two teams have a history of closely contested matches, with neither side winning their respective home games in the previous campaign.
However, Kitara did secure a 1-0 victory over NEC in the Uganda Cup.
