MTN-Omondi Stadium, Lugogo
KCCA FC host Maroons FC in the second leg of round of 16 – 47th edition of the Stanbic Uganda Cup at MTN-Omondi Stadium, Lugogo.
KCCA FC will be hoping they can continue the good run in the Uganda Cup and maintain their 100 percent record thus far.
Record cup winners KCCA FC beat Maroons 0-2 in the first leg of the round of 16.
Morley Byekwaso’s charges know that cup football is a strong opportunity for the side to pick silverware this season given that the 13 time league Champions lie 4th on the table with 10 points behind leaders URA FC.
A win against Maroons in the 2nd leg of the Uganda Cup will instill more confidence in the side ahead of the final bend of the season.
