Uganda Premier League | Fixture

• Kitara vs Police - 4 PM
• Express vs NEC - 7 PM

Kitara will be aiming to return to winning ways in the Uganda Premier League encounter against Police at Royal Park, Hoima, on Thursday.

Kitara, who are addressed as title contenders, have started the league on a slow note, winning once and losing twice.

Kitara head coach Brian Ssenyondo admitted that they have not been at their best in the previous games but motivated to turn around the tide.

” We come into this game off disappointing results, but we picked some lessons which we hope to carry into the next game and try to overturn the deficit we suffered against NEC,” Ssenyondo stated.

“Going forward, we want to build on that and bounce back with a satisfying performance. We know our opponents will also come motivated, but we have been working on our defence and finishing and expect a better game this time round.”

“Also, the title chase is not over after these two losses. We are still working towards our target this season. We are making steady progress and believe our objectives are still attainable,” he promised.

On the other hand, Police have made three draws in as many games played.

They pose a great threat to Kitara, who will be playing their second game at their new home.
