Kitara’s flawless, unbeaten start to the season will be pushed to the absolute limit this Tuesday afternoon when they travel to the capital to face a rapidly improving Police FC side at the Kira Police Arena in Kamwokya.
The Royals arrive in Kampala carrying the proud tag of being one of only three remaining unbeaten teams in the division. Despite having played the fewest games in the league so far—just five matches—Kitara have quietly amassed 11 points. A victory on Tuesday would pull them to same points with Police FC.
The Cops Turn the Corner
Police enter the fixture riding a wave of newfound momentum. It marks a dramatic turnaround for the Cops, who recently endured a nightmare defensive patch where they conceded nine goals in back-to-back thumpings by Entebbe UPPC (3-0) and SC Villa (6-1).
Since that wake-up call, Police have found their groove. They head into Tuesday’s clash on the back of consecutive victories over Kigezi Home Boyz (3-1) and Kataka FC (2-1) and a highly impressive, gritty draw away to reigning champions Vipers SC at the St. Mary’s Stadium in Kitende.
History, however, slightly favors the visitors. In the last four Premier League meetings between the two sides, Kitara hold the upper hand with two victories, one draw, and one defeat.
Heavy Casualties on Both Sides
Both managers will be forced to shuffle their tactical decks due to high-profile absences in their respective camps.
The hosts will be completely starved of leadership in the middle of the park. Police captain Said Kyeyune is officially ruled out of the clash, serving a suspension after being shown a red card during their hard-fought win over Kataka.
Kitara FC have also been dealt a severe double blow to their backline. Head coach Wasswa Bbosa confirmed that the pair of Benjamin Nyakoojo and Jimmy Kalema are out after picking up injuries during their gritty 1-0 weekend win against UPDF FC.
“We are focused and our aim is to win tomorrow’s game so that we can close the gap on the leading pack,” Bbosa remarked ahead of the match. “Two of our key players are out after picking up injuries against UPDF, but we believe we have a deep, quality squad that is ready to step up to the challenge.”
