BUL FC go into the game looking to build on the recent back to back draws over Busoga United and Mbarara City, and with just seven matches remaining, it’s an important three points up for grabs as the Eastern Giants look to cement a top four finish this season.

Alex Isabirye’s men have recorded ten victories, eight draws and five losses from 23 matches to date, with 38 points there to be shown for that feat.

URA come into the game with a seven game unbeaten streak, while their last defeat can only be traced two months back when they lost 1-0 away to KCCA FC in early February.

Both sides settled for a two all draw on their first meeting in November. Steven Mukwala opened the deadlock for URA, Shagik Kagimu extended their advantage after the interval but BUL FC responded with a resilient show as Musa Esenu and Joseph Semujju struck in the second half to draw the game level.

This will be the 22 meeting between the two teams.

Team News

Pascal Ngobi will miss this encounter because of suspension but there is some good news. Goal keeper Saidi Keni is working on his way to recovery and will be subjected to a late fitness test to see if he can feature tomorrow.

What they said:

Team Manager – Alex Isabirye:

This is another tough game. URA is ahead of us with five points clear. Therefore, we need to work hard and try to reduce that gap. We have gone two matches without a win but this time we are at home and well prepared. So, I believe we shall win the game.

Richard Wandyaka said that, ” we expect to win the game because we are so much prepared,” and asked the fans to turn up in big numbers.
