- Arena of Visions, Ndejje 4pm
KCCA coach Morley Byekwaso is wary of experienced URA ahead of his side’s trip to the Arena of Visions, Ndejje on Tuesday.
URA could earn a third successive win over the Kasasiro and fourth in five games with maximum points after winning the reverse fixture 2-1 at Lugogo.
Then, Byekwaso was deputising Mike Mutebi who has since departed and the game proves the former’s biggest test so far since getting the top job.
Speaking ahead of the game, Byekwaso who has overseen three wins as many games in charge anticipates a tough clash against a very good experienced side with an equally experienced technical staff.
“URA is a very good side. They are experienced with experienced coaches as well,” said Byekwaso. “We are going to have big task to beat them although it’s our target but it will be a hard job,” he added.
They are physical, know how to possess the ball and know how to cross and attack crosses so we must be careful in all situations. And their experienced coaches can interpret situations and use them to their advantage.
