Team News.
URA FC heads into the game with no significant injury concerns except for teenage forward Denis Kisiriko, who just returned to training this week.
New signings, including goalkeeper Derrick Ochan (ex-KCCA FC), Faizo Matovu, Abraham Tusubira, Bright Vuni, George Masembe, and Isma Mugulusi, are available for selection.
During the pre-match press conference, coach Isabirye acknowledged the difficulty of the fixture but emphasized the team’s readiness and determination to claim all three points.
Likewise midfielder Norman Namanya who scored the opener in last season’s 3-2 defeat to KCCA FC at Lugogo echoed similar confidence, recalling their 1-0 victory in the reverse fixture, thanks to Bruno Bunyaga’s late winner.
