UPL Preview: Kitara’s Unbeaten Run Faces Toughest Test Against High-Flying BUL

Kitara put their impressive 10-match unbeaten streak on the line when they visit BUL at the Hamz Stadium, Nakivubo, in a Thursday night showdown that promises fireworks.

Both teams are among the most in-form sides in the Uganda Premier League, with just one point separating them on the table.

BUL sit third with 29 points, while Kitara are fourth with 28. A win for either side could be a significant step toward challenging for the top spots.

BUL’s Homecoming and a Shot at History

For BUL, this game marks their third fixture at Nakivubo, a ground where they have enjoyed success since moving from Njeru. They have won both games played here, registering victories over URA and Express.

The Jinja-based side have been near flawless in the second round of the season, unbeaten since the restart and coming off a 2-0 win over Bright Stars.

A victory against Kitara would not only keep their title hopes alive but also complete a league double over their Hoima-based rivals.

BUL won the reverse fixture 3-1 in Butema, thanks to goals from Martin Aprem, Walter Ochora, and Dickson Matama.

Historically, Kitara have never beaten BUL in the top flight, a record that Abbey Kikomeko’s men will be keen to maintain.

Kitara’s Unstoppable Surge

Despite their early-season struggles, Kitara have been transformed under head coach Wasswa Bbosa.

Their turnaround has been nothing short of remarkable, with their last loss coming in November against Bright Stars.

Since then, they have kept 10 consecutive clean sheets, a defensive record that speaks volumes about their tactical discipline.

Their 2-0 victory over URA in their last outing was another testament to their growing confidence, and they will be keen to prove their progress by securing their first-ever league win over BUL.

However, Kitara have struggled on their last two visits to Nakivubo, losing to URA and drawing with Wakiso Giants.

They will need to overcome that psychological hurdle if they are to walk away with three points.

Key Players to Watch

BUL will rely on veteran forward Karim Ndugwa to lead their attack, while the return of defender Fesali Najib from injury strengthens their backline. However, they will still be without Ibrahim Mugulusi, who remains sidelined.

For Kitara, Patrick Kaddu will be the go-to man in attack, while they will have to cope without influential midfielder Titus Ssematimba, who is still nursing an injury.

What’s at Stake?

A win for BUL would solidify their grip on third place and push them closer to NEC in second. For Kitara, this is about rewriting history—finally defeating BUL in the league and proving they are serious contenders in the title race.

With both teams in peak form, under the Nakivubo floodlights, this is set to be one of the most exciting fixtures of the round.
