KCCA Coach Mike Mutebi is wary of Police ahead of the two side’s meeting at Nakivubo stadium on Saturday afternoon.

In a pre-match interview with upl.co.ug, Mutebi stated the Cops have a good coach as well a good a team that blends youth with experience and thus we expect a tough game.

“Police is a good team,” he stated. “They have an experienced coach, with good mix of youth and experience,” he added.

The hosts head into the game without defenders Lawrence Kasadha and Hassan Wasswa Dazo, midfielder Ivan Ntege who are out injured.

Attacking midfielder Muzamiru Mutyaba is also doubtful with a bout of malaria but long term absentee Sakka Mpiima is back and will be in the match day squad.

Table leaders KCCA are six points above fifth placed Police who have played one more game.

KCCA targets Rahmat Ssenfuka and goalie Douglas Kisembo will hope to put up an impressive performance.
