The spotlight shifts to Matchday 22 as KCCA ready themselves to clash with Busoga United at the MTN Omondi Stadium on Thursday, March 28th, with the match slated to commence at 7 pm.
The reverse fixture finished 2-1 in favor of Busoga United in Jinja, thus Busoga United will be looking to secure a league double over KCCA, while KCCA will be out for revenge.
Emmanuel Ajo scored a late winner for Busoga United after Ronald Kasamba equalized for them, following Dominic Ayella’s early goal for KCCA.
KCCA come into the match with confidence following a hard-fought 1-0 win over Vipers before the international break. Mustafa Kizza scored a penalty in injury time to ensure they completed a league double over the defending champions.
However, Busoga United are coming off a 2-2 draw with SOLTILO Bright Stars. The Kingsmen came from 2 goals down to secure a point in Jinja.
Currently, KCCA find themselves in the 8th position on the league table with 29 points from 20 matches. They have secured 9 wins, drawn 2, and suffered 9 losses.
Meanwhile, Busoga United are struggling in the 14th position in the relegation zone, having accumulated 17 points from 20 matches, with 4 wins, 5 draws, and 11 losses.
In head-to-head encounters, KCCA hold a significant advantage, winning 10 out of the last 14 meetings against Busoga United, drawing 3, and losing 1.
Additionally, KCCA have never lost a home game to Busoga United, winning 5 out of 6 meetings and drawing 1.
A win for KCCA could see them climb to 6th place on the table, provided the other day’s match between Maroons and Express plays out in their favor.
On the other hand, Busoga United are in dire need of a victory to escape the relegation zone. Winning would elevate them to 13th position, lifting them out of relegation but leaving them with only a slim 2-point safety margin.
The game will be broadcast on Sanyuka Prime at 7 pm, with the match buildup starting as early as 6:30 pm.
