In an eagerly anticipated fixture of the Uganda Premier League, Uganda Revenue Authority Football Club (URA FC) is gearing up to face Lugazi FC in Lugazi, with hopes of clinching their first victory away from home this season.
The match is set against a backdrop of urgency for URA, who have struggled to secure three points so far, having drawn all three of their opening matches in the league.
Despite their winless start, URA remains optimistic as they prepare to tackle a confident Lugazi side. The hosts have demonstrated resilience and notable form, recently drawing against KCCA FC away and following it up with a convincing home win against Calvary FC. This has propelled them to 5th place in the league standings, positioning them as a formidable opponent for URA.
As of now, URA sits 9th in the league table with a total of 3 points, trailing one point behind their rivals from Lugazi. This match carries personal significance for both coaches; URA’s head coach Alex Isabirye will be going against his sibling, Steven Bogere, who leads the Lugazi squad. The familial connection adds an intriguing layer to an already competitive encounter.
With both teams keen to establish momentum early in the season, fans can expect an engaging and intense match-up. URA will be looking to harness their determination and convert their draws into much-needed wins, while Lugazi aims to capitalize on their current wave of confidence to strengthen their position in the league.
The stage is set for a thrilling encounter with potential implications for both sides’ ambitions in the Uganda Premier League.
