Uganda Premier League (Match Day 12):
- BUL Vs Proline (Tuesday, 21st November 2017)
- At Kakindu Stadium, Jinja (4:30 p.m)
“Desperate times have always called for desperate and measures” goes the old school saying.
At a time Jinja based side BUL is hosting Proline on Tuesday, there is trouble sensed in the house at Kakindu.
This stems from the inability for the club to win games – home or away.
Three loses on the track against Bright Stars (away), Sports Club Villa Jogoo (at home) and the recent slip against Masavu at Bugonga spells trouble at one of the best facilitated clubs on the land.
As they host Proline on Tuesday, head coach Kefa Kisala and his assistants Peter Onen and Kiwanuka Tiliika ought to think of something special to revive their fortunes.
“We have to be cautious and play well. The past losses are behind us because we are now looking at the present. We need to improve as soon as possible” Kisala told Kawowo Sports after their match with Masavu.
Proline is coming from a home loss to Express after they squandered a 1-0 lead to loss the match at last.
Head coach Mujib Kasule and his immediate assistant Baker Mbowa exactly know how to engineer results after a slip with mechanisms of lifting up the players’ spirits.
Key Actors:
BUL captain Patrick ‘Crespo’ Asiku could return after sitting out the away game in Entebbe.
A bulk of the players who played at Bugonga could be maintained.
This means left back Hassan Musana, hard working anchorman Patrick Sembuya, right winger Hamis Tibita, Mike Ndeera, Fred Agandu (right back) and goalkeeper Hannington Ssebwalunyo will be maintained.
James Otim, Fred Kyambadde (who failed to make the 18 against Masavu) and Martin Kivumbi could be eagerly awaiting.
If fielded, defender Yusuf Mukisa has a chance to face his former pay masters, Proline.
Yunus Sibira is likely to miss out after a sprained ankle in the Masavu match with huge doubts on the availability of veteran defender Musa Walangalira.
Proline will as usual rely on the scoring instincts of Fahad Bayo, the industrious nature of left winger Sula ‘Malouda’ Matovu, the craftiness of David Owori, alertness of goalkeeper Keni Saidi and the fast improving Joseph Mandela for the much needed inspiration in Jinja.
Other expected players for Proline are; Musa Kundi, Odili Iyasela, Mustafa Mujuzi and Arnold Sserunjogi, among others.
If passed fit, striker Daniel Isiagi who is fresh from trials with Nantes in France, could play a role in Proline’s away match.
Defender Savio Kabugo will sit out due to injury.
Proline is currently 12th with 11 points as BUL lingers in the relegation zone with just 9 points off 11 matches.
