Soccer. Morley Byekwaso’s team have only striker Mathew Odong’s opening day strike against Lweza to show in three games while their opponents Bul FC are coming off a 1-0 win over Simba in their previous game
KAMPALA.
Of the seven former winners of the league, URA are currently the worst performing club of the lot.
Having gathered two points from their opening three fixtures the tax collectors were only one point and place above the bottom three sides going into this week’s match day.
While many might argue the season is still in its infancy stage, two clubs have already changed coaching staff which is only likely to increase the pressure on coach Alex Isabirye.
During their previous game, the revenue collectors struggled to create cut opportunities against Villa losing 1-0 despite boasting a plethora of experienced players.
Failure for Robert Sentongo, Feni Ali, Patrick Ochan and Augustine Nsumba to guarantee victory against Simba who installed Harunah Kebba as their new coach this week will leave Isabirye in a spot of bother.
The other game features Police, leaders by two points going into this week’s matches, playing a decent Bright Stars team that will again rely on the gifted but often erratic Hassan Kikoyo for goals.
The third game features last season’s runners up SCVU, who are struggling for goals, against Bul FC.
