*Wakiso Giants FC Vs URA FC, Kabaka Kyabaggu Stadium-Wakiso (4:00 pm) Live on Sanyuka Prime TV
*Busoga United FC Vs Gaddafi FC, Kakindu Stadium-Jinja (4:00 pm) Live on FUFA TV
For the second consecutive game, Gaddafi will be involved in a Jinja derby in the StarTimes Uganda Premier League.
The army side visits Busoga United at Kakindu stadium, which both teams share.
Last week, Gaddafi hosted table leaders BUL at the same venue and the match ended 1-1 which took the tally of stalemates for Wasswa Bbosa’s charges.
In his own remarks, Bbosa says all mistakes from the previous games have been corrected.
“We are yet to get any victory, it is unfortunate that in the previous encounters we could create so many chances but could not convert them,” said Bbosa.
We realized we need to concentrate more in the final third and hurt our opponents”
“Derbies are usually tough games since players do not need anyone to motivate them. It is within them, my side will not underrate our opponents who have good players and their experience in the league can never be doubted.”
At the moment, both teams are separated by goal difference but with same points with Gaddafi 11th and Busoga United 12th.
Last season’s meetings are the only one in the top flight and each team won away from home.
Meanwhile, URA Coach Sam Timbe will be in enormous pressure to deliver victory when his side takes on Wakiso Giants at Kabaka Kyabaggu stadium, Wakiso.
The veteran tactician faced the wrath of fans in the last outing after URA squandered a two goal cushion to draw with Soltilo Bright Stars in a four goal thriller.
The four-time champions go into the game without key players Derrick Nsibambi and Derrick Ndahiro but have Hudu Mulikyi back from suspension.
On the other hand, Wakiso Giants miss Titus Ssematimba, Marvin Nyanzi and Ronald Madoi who are away with the Uganda Hippos in Sudan for the Zonal Afcon qualifiers.
Despite playing a game fewer, Wakiso Giants are sixth on the table with 7 points, one better than URA who have played five games.
Last season’s corresponding fixture ended 5-0 in favour of the tax collectors.
