December 16, 2022

Uganda Premier League leaders KCCA will be under pressure later on today as they take on Busoga United at the Philip Omondi stadium in Lugogo.

On the other hand, Busoga Unitre has been one of the most underperfoming sides and is in the relegation zone.

They sit in the 14th position on the 15 team log table and have only collected 6 poiints from 12 games.

KCCA coach Morley Byekwaso has however warned his side not to relax and take this game for granted because it can be full of surprises.

He cited the game in which they shocked Wakiso Giants and beat them at the Kabaka Kyabagu stadium yet the Purple Sharks are one of the best performing teams in the leauge.

“We do not compare the table standings to the present form because Busoga has improved a lot recently,” Byekwaso said in the pre-match press conference at Lugogo on Thursday before adding.

“They recently won a game when they visited one of the best teams in the league this season, Wakiso Giants, and every game has its own problems to solve.”

“We do not have to underestimate them because I know they will try to make the game difficult for us.”

“So we have to be aware of that as a team and put up a strong performance by possessing so well and being effective, especially with scoring goals.”

“They are trying so hard tooth and nail to gather results that can help them to stay in the league so such teams can surprise you meaning we have to be extremely careful with Busoga.”

KCCA’s last game was a 1-1 draw withy BUL FC on away while Busoga Unitd were beaten 1-0 by Arua Hill.

KCCA will be banking on their home form in which they are yet to lose a game.

They have so far played six games, won 5 and drew once which was against URA.

They have beaten the likes of Wakiso Giants,. Vipers SC, Express, Gaddafi and Blacks Power at their home Turf in Lugogo.

The two sides have met six times previously and KCCA have won all the games.
