URA and KCCA meet a crunch tie that could define either’s season as they lock horns in the Stanbic Uganda Cup quarter final at Hamz stadium, Nakivubo.

The hosts have only the competition for a chance for silverware as they are out of the race in the premier league while KCCA, also five points behind leaders Vipers in the league can’t afford to get eliminated.

Despite having such a tough season, KCCA co-head coach Jackson Magera says URA poses a big threat and remains a formidable side,

“We are not taking anything for granted,” he told the media. “We are facing a very good opponent who has won this competition three times,” he added.

“It is a game of pressure but our focus is to play well, make every step useful such that we can win the game.”

The visitors are without Derrick Nsibambi, Peter Magambo and Gabriel Joao for the encounter but still have a decent squad to choose from.

Former URA marksman Ivan Ahimbisibwe will be the key for KCCA to unlock the tax collectors’ defence.

On the other hand, Hussein Mbalangu’s men will rely on Moses Aliro, Moses Waiswa, Derrick Kakooza and Fred Amaku on the day.

The only league meeting so far this season ended in a 2-1 win for the Kasasiro with Ahimbisibwe notching a double.

The winner will join holders Vipers who overcame NEC 4-2 on penalties at Lugogo on Friday.
