KCCA FC Start The New UPL Season With A Narrow Win Over URA FC

Reviving Hope: KCCA FC’s Quest For Redemption Against Mbarara City

Posted by: lukwago J in Ugandan Football April 26, 2025

KCCA FC faces a pivotal moment as they strive to break free from a three-match losing streak and settle the score with Mbarara City after a contentious defeat in their previous encounter. The Kasasiro are determined to turn the tables in their favor on their home turf.

Despite securing an away victory at Kakyeeka, KCCA encountered a setback when their win was nullified for a technicality involving Gavin Kizito’s eligibility.

The subsequent loss marked the beginning of a downward spiral for the club’s title aspirations, relegating them to 7th place in the standings with 34 points ahead of the crucial showdown.

With their sights set on redemption, KCCA FC faces off against Livingstone Mbabazi’s squad, who are battling to avoid relegation with only four points cushioning them from the danger zone.

The visitors, on an eight-match winless streak, are eager to defy the odds and secure a much-needed victory.

Injury woes and tactical decisions

As KCCA prepares for the showdown, they will be without key players Derrick Nsibambi and Ettiene Katenga due to injuries, while Mustafa Mujjuzi’s absence due to malaria poses a challenge.

However, the team can count on the availability of Sadat Anaku, Yian Gatbel, and Filbert Obenchan to bolster their lineup.

KCCA FC holds a formidable record against Mbarara City at home in the premier league, boasting an unbeaten streak of four wins and two draws. This statistic underscores their strength and resilience when playing on familiar ground.

In parallel fixtures, SC Villa will clash with Kitara at Mutesa II Stadium, Wankulukuku, while BUL takes on Wakiso Giants at Kabaka Kyabaggu Stadium, Wakiso. The stage is set for an intense battle as teams vie for crucial points in the ongoing league campaign.
