Clash Of Titans: URA FC Challenges Lugazi’s Unbeaten Streak

Posted by: lukwago J in Ugandan Football December 19, 2024

Lugazi’s remarkable unbeaten streak faces a critical test as they clash with hosts URA FC at Nakivubo Stadium this Thursday. The newly promoted team, under the guidance of coach Sadiq Sempigi, has gone undefeated in eight matches since his appointment, albeit securing victory only twice during this period.

As Lugazi steps onto the pitch, they are met by a revitalized URA squad determined to assert themselves in the title race. The four-time league champions, led by Alex Isabirye, currently sit in 5th place with 18 points, trailing the table-toppers NEC by just nine points.

With URA’s recent victory over Express boosting their confidence, they aim to narrow the gap to the league leaders to a mere six points after thirteen rounds of intense competition.

Managed by Steven Bogere, Lugazi finds themselves in 12th place with 13 points, precariously positioned just four points above the relegation zone.

A win in this crucial encounter is imperative for Lugazi to distance themselves from the danger lurking below and secure a more stable footing in the league standings.

Key battles on the field

CHAN-bound players Ivan Ahimbisibwe and Moses Aliro are entrusted with the task of breaching Lugazi’s resilient defense marshaled by the experienced Richard Ayiko.

Expect an intriguing matchup as Enock Walusimbi aims to thwart the attacking prowess of Lugazi’s Ssemugugu and his teammates in what promises to be a fiercely contested battle on the field.

With reports of Isabirye’s illness and assistant coach Baker Kasule’s coaching commitments, goalkeeping coach Jamil Damba may find himself at the helm of URA FC during this critical fixture, adding an element of unpredictability to the team’s leadership dynamics.
