Pre-match reactions
Mike Hillary Mutebi;
We are well prepared and i trust the lads will do all that it takes to win the game. We are playing catch up and we need to win to achieve our ambitions that we set at the begining of the season. URA were the only team that beat us at home. We have to be critical in how we counter the game. We are not under pressure but we have a responsibility to win our remaining games. We welcome the national team players and they too know they have to work their socks off to get into the starting team.

Allan Okello addressed the press ahead of Wednesday’s game and had this to say,
The team has been winning without us, the players that were away on National Team. We want to keep that momentum and keep winning games. We want to cover that gap that we have between us and those above us. It will be a tough one and we need to show we need it more than our opponents.
