KCCA FC host Soltilo Bright Stars FC on match day 21 of the StarTimes Uganda Premier League.

The Cityzens were 1-0 winners over Bright Stars FC in the reverse fixture in October 2024.

The 13-time league champions, KCCA FC, have won their last three games in all competitions, scoring 11 goals and conceding once.

The message to the players is very clear. We do not have any room for complacency. We face a side that is fighting to survive relegation, and such sides are usually tricky. We can’t afford any more slip-ups, so we are treating this game very seriously. We will not have Joel Sserunjogi due to suspension. However, Hassan Muhamud, Steven Munguchi, and Musitafa Mujuzi have all returned to full fitness and are available for selection. Gavin Kizito is back from national duty and will be available for selection. Teenager Brain Jjara is away on National Duty with the Uganda U17 National Team – Abdallah Mubiru
