Preview – KCCA FC Seek to Extend Lead Atop

KCCA will welcome struggling side Police FC on Friday with eyes on stretching their lead atop.

Despite missing a couple of players, the hosts will fancy their chances against a Police side that is yet to win a game this season.

Morley Byekwaso, fresh from being names the UPL manager of the month for a straight month, will be hoping to run more salt in Police wounds.

They recently managed to leave Kitende with a point, but many KCCA FC fans were disappointed with the result having conceded a late Bobosi Byaruhanga goal.

Against Police FC, they face a team that is eager to get points on board and have the ability to take the ball to the opponent from the word go.

The absence of some players is a blessing in disguise for other fringe players at KCCA FC to command more playing time, and that speaks volumes about the club’s depth.

“Police is a very tough side although they are yet to pick any win,” stated Byekwaso.

“Police FC has earned some draws but it is still a stubborn side. It’s a derby day and we need to all go out so that we can get the needed result.”

KCCA FC can open up a nine-point lead atop with a win in case results do go both Vipers and BUL way in other games.

On the other hand, Police FC are still in search for their maiden win this season.

They come into this contest after picking three consecutive draws. They drew 0-0 against Mbarara at home, drew 0-0 against URA FC before picking another point against Gaddafi in their last league encounter.

This is a big boost to a side that lost six out of six opening games this season.

Against KCCA, team captain Tonny Mawejje expressed the team’s readiness and admits they will forget the past to start a new chapter.

“The team is prepared and as a team we are handling each game as it is, we forget the past. We are ready to follow the coaches instructions so that we can get the needed result,” said Mawejje.
