Posted by: lukwago J in Ugandan Football November 30, 2024

Following his team’s first victory under his leadership at Kitara, Wasswa Bbosa sees this as a potential turning point for a successful run, starting with a challenging encounter against Vipers in Kitende.

The upcoming match between the two teams on Saturday holds significance, with Vipers showcasing exceptional form, remaining undefeated since their initial loss on match day one against NEC. Notably, Vipers have triumphed over strong opponents like URA, SC Villa, and Express, with their only setback against KCCA due to a late equalizer.

Reflecting on their recent victory, Bbosa expressed confidence in building momentum, stating, “We got our first win and we hope that kick starts a good run.” Despite anticipating a tough match against a formidable adversary, Bbosa emphasized their primary goal of avoiding defeat in Kitende.

Players to watch and lasting rivalry

Recalling the contentious history between the two teams from the previous season, characterized by controversial officiating decisions, the upcoming fixture is anticipated to be fiercely contested. Players like Fred Amaku, George Ssenkaaba, and Kabon Living, instrumental in the recent win over UPDF, will play pivotal roles for Kitara.

Additionally, the visitors boast talent in Uganda Cranes duo Jude Ssemugabi and Puskas award nominee Denis Omedi, eager to impress under the new leadership.

In the host team, standout players Allan Okello, Milton Karisa, and Yunus Sentamu are expected to lead the charge as Vipers strive to maintain their top position in the league standings.

A key statistic underscores Vipers’ dominance in past encounters with Kitara, having emerged victorious in four league matches out of five meetings, with their only defeat coming in a penalty shootout in the Stanbic Uganda Cup.
