KCCA FC will step onto the MTN Omondi Stadium turf for the first time this season in the StarTimes Uganda Premier League, welcoming Lugazi FC for their Match Day Three encounter. The 13-time league champions head into the clash with four points from their opening two fixtures and will be eager to give their home fans something to cheer about.
Fresh from a crucial Kampala derby victory over SC Villa, KCCA carry momentum and confidence into this tie. The Cityzens, however, are wary of complacency despite having crushed Lugazi 5–0 in the same fixture last season.
Head coach Jackson Magera has urged his players to focus on the present, emphasizing that previous results count for little.
“We have to protect our home ground and play with the right mentality. Lugazi is a much-improved side this season. Discipline, intensity, and focus will be key. What we did last year doesn’t win us this game — we must earn it again,” Magera noted.
For Lugazi FC, the trip to Lugogo offers a chance to make a statement. After an inconsistent start to the campaign, they are determined to prove they’ve grown since last season’s heavy defeat. Their 1–1 draw in the reverse fixture last term remains a reminder of their potential to challenge the big sides.
