- Lugazi vs Kitara
League entrants Lugazi Football Club are set to face to Kitara in their maiden Uganda Premier League encounter at Lugazi Stadium, Najjembe on Saturday.
This will be a worth test for Lugazi FC as they test their tools, quality and resilience to see if they fit the requirements of top tier football.
Lugazi head coach Sadiq Ssempigi is aware of the threat ahead and he expects a tough test from the Royals.
“Kitara is a very good team and a very tough challenger. They have had very good games in the pre-season, I watched most of their games in the FUFA Super 8 and the Confederation Cup,” the gaffer told the club media.
“They are very ambitious, play well and they have fared well in the market – they really have good players who think will give us a very tough challenge,” he added.
“But I want to accept that we are at home and we know the kind of opponent we are going to face. We are going to work hard to make sure we answer most of the questions that will be presented.”
Kitara’s red hot forward line which has Denis Omedi and Jude Ssemugabi will face an experienced backline that is expected to have Bashir Asiku and Richard Ayiko.
In the previous campaign, Kitara finished fourth on the log before clinching the Uganda Cup trophy, with that at hand the Royals will push for more accolades.
