In the pre-match presser, Manager Mike Mutebi had this to say;
We shall continue playing the way we have been playing. Scoring goals. The lads are more confident. We are not going to worry about our opponents but rather keep playing our game.
I am happy with the scoring options at the club. Lwanga and Anaku are scoring. Lwanga has 7 goals in 7 games and Anaku 5 goals in 3 games. The numbers are good. Aheebwa who is on 7 goals has had a bad run but we are hopeful and patient with him that he will get back his scoring touch soon.
