KCCA is set to face NEC in a Uganda Premier League clash at the MTN Omondi Stadium, Lugogo, on Thursday.
KCCA will be looking to extend their unbeaten run as they head into the ninth game of the ongoing 2024-25 campaign.
Speaking ahead of the match, KCCA head coach Abdallah Mubiru acknowledged the challenge posed by their opponents but expressed confidence in his team's readiness.
“We have prepared well for the game against NEC FC. It will be a competitive encounter. Since we both share the same stadium, they are familiar with the environment. They know that a win could take them to the top of the table,” Mubiru said.
“We will miss Mugolofa, as he is suspended after accumulating yellow cards, but we trust all our players to step up,” he added.
KCCA will be without goalkeeper Mugolofa Mutwalibi due to suspension for accumulated yellow cards. Additionally, forward Derrick Nsibambi and Julius Poloto remain on the path to full recovery.
The two teams have faced each other twice before, with each side securing one victory. They are yet to share the spoils in their encounters.
