MTN Omondi stadium, Lugogo will be the place to be on Wednesday when giants KCCA and URA face off in the league.
The two sides are separate by four points with second placed KCCA on 32 points while URA are on 28 in third place.
The two title chasing sides are aware of the importance of the fixture in the race and they have no room for errors.
KCCA manager Morley Byekwaso says his charges will going for all points but must be alert to thwart any threats if they are to win.
“We must play well, defend set pieces as we have conceded many goals from such situations and also deny their midfielders any shooting chance because they are good at it,” said Byekwaso.
“At the other end, we must create and put away the chances we create and if we do so, we are capable of winning,” he added.
Denis Iguma (injured), Sadat Anaku, Julius Poloto and Ali Mwirusi are out with the Fundi Team in Spain but Yasser Mugerwa could be available for selection after recovering from injury.
Meanwhile, URA who seem to have engaged top gear in recent matches with 3 wins in as many previous games will close the gap between them and KCCA to just one with all points and officially announce their return in the title race.
Steven Mukwala who has scored four in the last two games, Viane Ssekajugo and Cromwel Rwothomio will be vital for the Tax men up front.
