Mbarara City Vs Bright Stars

Kakyeka Stadium, Mbarara (4:00PM)

It is a fourth versus sixth affair as Fred Kajoba’s Bright Stars visit Charles Livingstone Mbabazi’s Mbarara City at the Kakyeka Stadium in Mbarara on Saturday on match day 13 of the Star Times Uganda Premier league.

Fourth on the 16 team log Bright Stars will play Mbarara City in one of the five matches lined up on Saturday.

Coming to this match, both sides have 20 points, with Bright Stars having played 12 matches, one more than Mbarara City.

Battle of tactics:

Charles Livingstone Mbabazi, at the helm of Top Bet sponsored Mbarara City is a believer in free flowing football and excellent at game preparations.

With a galaxy of stars at his disposal as Paul Mucureezi, Ibrahim Orit, Makweuth Wol, Pistis Barenge and goalkeeper Ali Kimera among others, Mbarara City could change formation at any moment to suit the situation.

Fred Kajoba at Bright Stars has completely turned around the club this season.

From a rigid side known previously, Bright Stars have of late opened up their game.

Players as Henry Kiwanuka, Mahad Kisseka, Methiodious Juungu, Fred Kayanja, Fred Ssegujja, left winger Dan Birikwalira and the team skipper Nelson Senkatuka provide the offensive options.

In left backs Enock Walusimbi and Samuel Sekitto, right backs Andrew Kaggwa and Aggrey Kirya, center backs Martin Kizza and Innocent Assimwe, midfield hard tackling duo of Brian Enzema and Augustine Kacancu, as well as the offensive midfield engine of Kiwanuka, Kisekka and Jungu, Bright Stars have plenty of options coming to the game proper.

Veteran goalkeeper Hamza Muwonge will definitely be named ahead of his understudy Benson Wegima for the game.
