UPL: Jackson Magera: KCCA head coach expects strong Arua Hill opposition
Two of the worst teams in the current Uganda Premier League season KCCA FC and Arua Hill SC will lock-horns at the Paridi Stadium, Adjumani on Tuesday in a battle of minnows.
Both teams haven't picked a single point and jointly occupy the base after losing each of their five games this season.
And despite having the richer history, coupled with better welfare, it won't be a walk in the park for Kasasiro Boys against the wounded Leopards.
KCCA interim head coach Jackson Magera is fully aware of the stoutness of opposition he's bound to meet.
💛💙⚽️

"The game is not going to be easy as Arua Hill is not an easy team and they're in the same situation like us and have re-organized well," he told the club media.
"But, we came here prepared knowing that the opponent we're going to face won't be so easy and if the boys follow the plan we shall have the game on our side."
KCCA are enduring their worst start to a league season and have had to part ways with head coach Sergio Traguil, but Magera insists the mood is jolly and buoyant around his team.
"The (mood in the) camp is fantastic and as you can see, the boys are happy and eager to go on the pitch and play."
KCCA's last visit to Arua Hill didn't exactly go to plan as they were beaten 3-1, courtesy of strikes from Isaac Ogwang, Rashid Kawawa and Rashid Toha.
Meanwhile, KCCA FC edges their head to head, as they have two victories in four matches played. Arua Hill has one win and the other ended in a draw.
On the other hand, URA FC will face a daunting task as they visit high-flying BUL FC at the FUFA Technical Center, Njeru.
BUL seek to regain their top-of-the-table status while URA will want to return to winning ways having drawn 1-1 with Maroons FC last time out.
