HOW ARE THE VISITORS GETTING ON?

KCCA are flying high, they lead the table with 24 points from 10 games. They have scored 20 and conceded only 6 and still unbeaten a fit they only share with second placed Vipers. They are coming back off a 3-1 against newcomers Ndejje University FC.

ONE TO WATCH

Allan Okello! The youngster has a left foot every footballer in the world would like to have. Very comfortable on the ball and very quick in decision making. Many including his coach Mike Mutebi have talked about him being the future of Ugandan football and there is a reason as to why. We need to be alert in defense in order to stop him in his tracks with other teammates of his. He equalised for them the last time they visited Wankulukuku

WHO IS THEIR COACH?

Mike Mutebi! The German trained coach is highly regarded by many in the football fraternity. He won two league titles in a row and last season won the Uganda Cup. He loves to allow his players express themselves and play very good football but result oriented as well. He was able to lead KCCA to the group stages of the CAF champions league something which has never been done by any team in Uganda in the new champions league format. He is very experienced and principled tactician.

OUR RECORD AGAINST KCCA

Our record against them has not been pleasant in the near past. Last season they beat us 1-0 at Lugogo and 2-1 at Wankulukuku. Ayub Kisalita scored a penalty for us before Allan Okello and Jackson Nunda scored for them.

CLASSIC ENCOUNTER

The Red Eagles thrashed KCCA 3-0 at Lugogo in our classic match in 2015.
KCCA were the champions and had not lost at home that season. John Semazzi scored the first for us after drifting in from the left and gave Patrick Ochan no chance in the KCCA goal before Isaac Serunkuma added a diving header and Julius Ogwang added a screamer late in the game to give us all three points
