• Kabaka Kyabaggu stadium, Wakiso 3pm

KCCA will be desperate to put an end to a four-match winless streak as they look to keep pace with the leading pack in the Premier league.

Abdallah Mubiru’s men haven’t picked a win since defeating Maroons 5-0 at Lugogo and have since lost two and drawn as many, results that have seen them drop further behind in the race.

With 19 points, the Kasasiro are seven points behind NEC who top the standings although the army side have played one more game.

A win over struggling Wakiso Giants whose winless run stretches to over eight matches will take KCCA within four points of NEC and just two behind second placed Vipers who dropped points at home in the 1-1 draw with BUL at Kitende on Saturday.

It remains to be seen whether Derrick Nsibambi, Abu Mayanja, Filbert Obenchan and Peter Magambo are back after they missed the defeat to Express through injuries.

However, dependable centre back Muhamood returns from a game suspension for accumulation of bookings.

The hosts, occupying the last slot of relegation will also be eager to win and will rely on ex-KCCA players Lawrence Bukenya and Tom Masiko to torment their formers bosses in what is expected to be an exciting midfield battle.

William Luwagga Kizito will most likely start again for Steven Bengo’s side for a successive match after he missed the opening stages of the season through injury.
