Kitara FC will journey from Hoima to Hamz Stadium, Nakivubo, on Sunday to face Wakiso Giants as they aim to extend their unbeaten run and solidify their position in the league.
The Royals are riding high on a five-match unbeaten streak and have accumulated 17 points, marking a remarkable turnaround since the appointment of coach Wasswa Bbosa. Their recent exploits include a resilient performance against Kenyan heavyweights Gor Mahia in an international friendly, further boosting their confidence ahead of this fixture.
In contrast, Wakiso Giants, under the stewardship of former Ugandan internationals Steven Bengo and Tony Mawejje, find themselves in dire straits. Without a win in over ten matches, the Purple Sharks are desperately seeking a change of fortunes. A goalless draw against Mbarara City in their last outing offered some hope, as they managed to secure a clean sheet—a foundation they will look to build upon.
For Wakiso Giants, victory on Sunday could be transformative, potentially lifting them out of the relegation zone and injecting much-needed optimism into their campaign.
Kitara, however, will arrive as favorites and are determined to pile further misery on their opponents while continuing their upward trajectory.
