Log leaders Kitara FC have no room for error as they take on Luweero United in the FUFA Big League at Kasana Playground in a much-anticipated encounter today. Kitara who are just a point above second-placed NEC FC and two points above third-placed Mbarara City will be keen to know if they faltered in any way, it’s possible to fall into the third. The Royals meet a side they beat 4-0 in the first leg at Kigaaya playground and will fancy their options to complete a double. Kitara FC head coach Sam Ssimbwa agrees it has not been easy away from home but in the final bend of the journey, there is always limited room for error. “Each time we have not been playing at home, it has not been easy because all teams are fighting either to be promoted into the top tier or to avoid relegation,” he told the press ahead of the clash. “However it’s upon us to know that we have a target and we should do all it takes to see that we go back home with a positive result,” he added. According to the tactician, the boys are ready and will stage a spirited fight so that they lighten their chances of qualification as well as clinch the title. Kitara play this game after edging Kyetume 2-1 thanks to a late match-winner that sparked a riot at Nakisunga Grounds in Mukono last week. While Luweero will seek to make amends after falling to Mbarara in a 1-0 loss at Kakyeka Stadium in the land of milk and honey. Kitara has collected 51 points from 26 games, managing fourteen wins, nine draws and three defeats while 13th-placed Luweero has collected 28 points after 26 games.
