KCCA Football Club makes the long trip to West Nile to take on newbies Arua Hill who haven’t been kind to giants thus far at Barifa Grounds.

The Kongolo have won only two games in the top-flight and both came against top sides in champions Express and URA who finished second last season.

Table leaders KCCA go into the game on the back of a 2-1 win over UPDF that came late while Arua Hill suffered defeat to fellow newcomers Gaddafi in Jinja.

The Kasasiro have a chance to extend their lead at the top with second and third-placed Vipers and BUL FC not in action until Saturday and Sunday respectively.

Morley Byekwaso, the head coach of KCCA, expects a physical encounter and a tough test against a team with experienced players.

“We are prepared to maintain our charge but we expect a very difficult aggressive game on the day. They are a good side with so many experienced players like Toha and Ssekamatte who punished us last season while he was at Bright Stars but we have a plan to win,” he said.

Ssekamatte scored a brace in the last home game (against URA) for the Kongolo and will be eager to repeat a similar feat against his former bosses.
