“Away to Kitara will not an easy contest. Kalanda stated during the pre-match press conference on Monday.

“Anyone you compete with in the league is also focused and will play for all three points.

“Kitara hasn’t been an easy team for us especially in the Uganda Cup.

“However, i have to promise the fans is we are well prepared to make that right with victory on Tuesday.”
