LUGOGO – KCCA FC will hope to move back atop the StarTimes Uganda Premier League when they host Nyamityobora at the StarTimes Stadium on Sunday.
Mike Mutebi’s side start the day only three points behind leader Vipers SC and a victory in Sunday would see them go top by virtual of goal difference.
The Kasasiro Boys will however have to be concerned by their home form going into the game after drawing two of their first four games (0-0 with both Mbarara City and Kirinya JSS).
They will be boosted by the return of several national team players including those in the Kobs’ team that lost to South Sudan and those in the senior side.
However, the fact that all return in different shape, it remains to be seen who amongst them will start.
“Despite of the fact that some of us featured for the U23 and Cranes, i don’t think it will be a concern, said Julius Poloto ahead of the game.
“We are confident especially as we go into the game following a win against SC Villa.
“We know every game is not easy as teams prepare their best when they come up against us but the team is ready to fight for all three points.
For Nyamityobora, they are in desperate need for points as they currently sit second from bottom and without victory in any of their last three games including a 1-0 loss to Kirinya in their last game.
