Aiming to bounce back from recent frustration in front of goal in the StarTimes Uganda Premier League, Kitara FC are preparing for a demanding clash at Royal Park, Butema, on Thursday (November 20) against BUL FC, with head coach Wasswa Bbosa confident his side is ready to respond.
“BUL is a strong team with very good players and coaches, but we have trained well and we want to make sure we get the three points at home to make our fans proud,” Bbosa said.
He pointed to the advantage of the league break, saying it gave his team space to address their attacking struggles.
“We lost three points in our last match against SC Villa because we created chances but failed to score, so during the break we spent a lot of time improving our finishing so that we can take our chances,” he explained.
Kitara sit 10th with seven points, heading into the fixture after a 1–0 defeat to SC Villa, where Frank Ssebuufu scored in the 66th minute.

SC Villa, who are third with 10 points, defeated Kitara 1–0 in their previous match through a goal from Frank Ssebufu. Head coach Nemanja Kovacevic has now secured three consecutive wins.
NEC, under new coach Badru Kaddu, earned a 1–1 draw against BUL in his first match in charge.
They sit 12th with six points and will attempt to upset an in-form Villa side to move further away from the relegation zone, where they are currently two positions above it.
