BUL FC gear up for a home clash against Kitara FC in the Uganda Premier League on Saturday afternoon.

The Eastern Giants will enter this tie off the back of a comfortable 2-0 win over Bright Stars on Wednesday; a goal from Deogracious Ojok had sent the boys ahead in the first half of the contest before Mukongotya doubled the advantage in the second period, whereas Kitara’s last outing saw them scrap a 3-2 victory over Wakiso Giants.

This will be the first meeting between the two sides in the league

BUL are in 9th place while the visitors find themselves in position 15 on the UPL table with 16 and 5 points respectively.
