Tuesday December 6
Uganda Premier League
Barifa Grounds
Kick Off: 4PM
We are back in action this Tuesday as we travel to West Nile to face Arua Hill at Barifa.
BUL won against Wakiso Giants last time out but they were quiet in their past four away fixtures, stressing the want to put an ear splitting performance come Tuesday to turnaround the off-putting run.
Just two points gathered since defeating Blacks Power at the beginning of October shows how wins have been elusive for Alex Isabirye’s side on the road, but they are encouraged by last season’s tally of four points from their 2021/22 meetings with Arua Hill.
After ten matches, the Eastern Giants currently occupy fourth place in the league with 20 points, Arua Hill are four points down in sixth.
However, the Leopards seem to have found groove after stringing two wins on the bounce as a response to their awful performance before the victories.
This gives them a sense of renaissance ahead of their third meeting with BUL.
Team News
Defender Ronald Otti and Ibrahim Mugulusi join Denis Mwemezi on the sidelines because of injuries but Alex Isabirye still have plenty of options to fill the void.
In his pre match briefing, the coach said he anticipates a tough challenge from The Leopards.
“Arua Hill recently won away to Express and they are generally in good form, making tomorrow ‘s encounter a hard one,” Isabirye said.
George Kasonko also sees the Arua team as a strong force but BUL is set to throw the strongest jab in the contest.
“We are ready to fight for the three points given that we are in good conditions. We arrived safely and we are prepared to take on Arua Hill who we believe are strong despite their new status in the league,” Kasonko said.
