Later today, Busoga United FC welcomes Arua Hill SC in a clash which will test their seemingly regained form.
Busoga United, a downward club, handed Wakiso Giants FC the only home loss in the season campaign so far.
The Jinja based side beat the purple sharks at home to register the third win in the season although still laden with a negative fourteen goal difference.
There were moments of spark from Busoga United’s attacking player, Laban Tibita who we hope we give breath of attack to the Jinja based side.
On the other hand, Coach Livingstone Mbabazi’s Arua Hill SC is 8th on the log with 16 points, a club we all thought would be flying high with Wakiso Giants and BUL FC in the top 5 by now.
The Arua based side has picked up only two wins from the past five games, losing 9 points in a run of five games.
Arua Hill SC players such as captain Rashid Toha and Bright Vuni were involved in the second semi-final game against Acholi so may come into today’s tie with of tired legs, and it will be up to Coach Mbabazi to make a decision.
In the last two meeting between the two clubs, Arua Hill SC has picked up two wins against Busoga United giving the Arua Hill SC a better history, but football is played in the present.
We look forward to the clash at the FUFA Technical Centre in Njeru.
