Preview: Peter Onen Seeks Perfect Start at Gadaffi FC

Gaddafi FC will start a new life with head coach Peter Onen who replaced Peter Mubarak Wamboya.

Onen will be in charge as the club play host to fellow UPL new entrant at the Gaddafi FC arena.

The former BUL FC Coach will be seeking to start on a high note on Friday in what promises to be a pulsating affair.

Gaddafi have won once, which came against Bright Stars, drawn twice and as many losses after five games.

They picked up a point in their last game a 2-2 draw with UPDF at Bombo in a game they recovered from two down.

Arua Hill on the other hand, come into the tie a motivated side after coming from behind to stun URA 3-2 in the last game at the Barifa Ground.

Arua Hill are 6th with 7 points after two wins, a draw and a loss from four games.

Arua Hill Assistant Coach Sadiq Sempiji says they have had enough time to prepare for this encounter: “I think we have had enough time to prepare very well, we have organised ourselves and we want to go into that game without anything to worry about.”

“We had enough preparations in the (international) break, it is time now to go and check on what we have improved depending on the last game.

“We think it will be a very good game but it won’t be easy because we are going to play a motivated team with a new coach we expect it to be very hard but at the end we think we laid a good strategy to win this game.”
