Blunt URA stands in Kitara’s path to the premier league top

Thursday February 19, 2026

• Kitara vs URA – Royal Park, Butema 4pm
• SC Villa vs Maroons – Fufa stadium, Kadiba 8pm

Kitara have an opportunity to climb top of the table but first must beat visiting URA at Fufa stadium, Kadiba.

Wasswa Bbosa’s men are three points behind leaders Vipers who again dropped points in the 1-1 draw with NEC on Tuesday at Kitende.

The Royals come into the game confident that after going five matches without defeat in which they have won four including three in a row with the most previous being a 1-0 away to Maroons.

In URA, they face a desperate side to regain a winning touch after going over seven matches without a win on top of failing to hit the back of the net.

Under Hussein Mbalangu, URA are winless in the league and find themselves jostling with relegation candidates.

They have 14 points after 16 matches and can’t afford more slip up or else they get entangled in the relegation skirmish.

Former Royals Ronald Otti and Fred Amaku face former bosses and will be among those tasked with being lethal at both fronts.

Kitara will rely on Jimmy Sakalema, Patrick Kaddu and others for goals but could also unleash Muhammad Shaban as per rumours.
