This fixture usually produces fireworks and you can expect no different on this Friday when the Eastern Giants host the 13 league champions, KCCA FC, at Kyabazinga Stadium – Bugembe in JinJa City for what is always an eagerly-awaited occasion.
Setting the scene:
BUL FC are in 12th position with 4 points from 5 league games. KCCA FC, meanwhile, will be glad to return to domestic action after suffering a painful ejection from CAF Confederations Cup at the hands of AS Kigali of Rwanda and sit in 5th place on the table with 9 points gathered in the league.
How are we shaping up?
Since suffering consecutive defeats in our last two away games before the season went into recess, the team has gone on to comprehensively win three practice matches and drawing one, scoring a whopping seventeen goals and conceding only five.
The boss – Arthur Kyesimira, who will be in charge of his first game this season will now look to ensure his charges improve our home form which has yielded only one point from two home league games so far. In the opening 5 league games, coach Arthur Kyesimira was serving a national call at the Uganda Cubs (U17 Uganda National Football Team) in Rwanda where they emerged champions.
Team news.
Deogracious Ojok returned to full fitness and the coach has almost full squad at his disposal apart from right back Peter Ozima who is nursing groin injury and Vitalis Tabu with swollen toe
“The team is in good shape. We don’t have any new injury in our squad. We have prepared very well – mentally and physically and ready to shoot down KCCA FC again and also subsequently crush any opponent that shall come in our way in the league,” said Assistant Coach Daniel Mubiru.
How about our home record against KCCA FC?
BUL FC has won two games out of the eight games since 2011. We have drawn three and lost three, scoring eight and conceding a similar number of goals in the process
We won our last game against them 3-0 and the team will be looking forward to winning back to back home games against the yellow boys for the first time.
