Gaddafi aim to build on Stars win as Wakiso Giants visit

Gaddafi host Wakiso Giants at Kakindu in a fixture they target maximum points to build on their impressive victory over Soltilo Bright Stars in the last outing.

Wasswa Bbosa coached side had endured some difficult results since the turn of the year but ended a winless streak with a deserved victory in their last game and will march into Kakindu on Tuesday with confidence.

They face a desperate but limping Wakiso Giants who have lost six games on the bounce and with them carry a lot of injuries.

“We want to get on a winning run and that means we must beat Wakiso Giants,” assistant coach Hassan Zungu told the media. “Playing at home where we have done relatively well gives us confidence and I believe we shall win,” he added.

The reverse fixture in Kabaka Kyabaggu was won by the home side with protests from the Jinja based side in regards to a second half penalty after Godfrey Lwesibawa bundled Ibrahim Kasule in the area – both areas have since moved from their respective clubs.

The Purple Sharks remain without key defenders Paul Willa and Apollo Kagogwe as well as midfielder Titus Ssematimba through injury.

They could however have forward Norman Ojik return after he missed the last couple of games through injury.

Victory will lift sixth placed Gaddafi (28 points) to 4^th on the log while a win for the visitors who sit 11^th will see them replaced the hosts in 6^th place.

The previous three meetings have yielded two wins for Wakiso Giants – all coming at home and one win for Gaddafi.
