- Kabaka Kyabaggu stadium, Wakiso 4pm
Following a disappointing manner in which they squandered a two-goal lead to draw with Bright Stars in their last game, URA will be desperate to get season back on track when they visit Wakiso Giants.
The tax collectors have picked just one win from their five games so far and sit 7th on the log with just six points.
Alionzi Nafian believes it’s high time they came up with better performances starting with the match at Wakissha.
“The last outing was disappointing and as players, we understand the need to up our game and start winning games starting with the one against Wakiso Giants tomorrow,” said Nafian.
Wakiso Giants come into the game a point and position above URA despite playing a game less.
They have won two games on the bounce and Coach John Luyinda understands how winning is important for stability.
“Winning is very important for the stability of the team and going into tomorrow’s match, we need that win,” he said. “We understand we are playing against a team with quality and experience but we feel ready to out-compete them,” he added.
“It is our second home game and the target at home will be to always do everything to get all points,” he stressed.
Both teams have absentees with Wakiso Giants missing the U-20 trio of Ronald Madoi, Titus Ssematimba and Marvin Nyanzi but are blessed with the return of Samson Kiirya and Joshua Lubwama who have missed the last two games while on national duty with the Sand Cranes.
URA are also without key players Derricks Ndahiro and Nsibambi, Hassan Kalega and U-20 right back Justine Opiro.
Key Stats
There have been four league meetings with each winning once and the rest are stalemates.
URA won the corresponding fixture 5-0 last season with former Wakiso Giants striker Viane Ssekajugo netting four.
