On the other hand, Gaddafi are threatened by relegation as they sit 14th on the 16-team log with 13 points, but Kikomeko expects it tough against them.

Despite it being a battle of top against a recent struggler, BUL FC head coach Abbey Bogere Kikomeko doesn't expect it easy as his side takes on Gaddafi FC later today.

BUL are in the hunt for their first-ever Uganda Premier League title, and sit on top of the table comfortably with 32 points, six ahead of runners-up Kitara FC.

On the other hand, Gaddafi are threatened by relegation as they sit 14th on the 16-team log with 13 points, but Kikomeko expects it tough against them.

“Gaddafi is a team that often disturbs us in the league, but we played our first derby against Busoga United, which wasn’t easy, and we managed to win 1-0,” he told the club media.

BUL come into the game off a scrappy 1-0 win over another neighbor Busoga United.

“Tomorrow we are playing our second derby, which I know is also going to be very difficult. But we shall do whatever it calls to get maximum points from that team.”

“Much as they lost their previous game against Maroons 5-0, this is not going to be an easy game for us because we are away from home. However, we shall fight hard to see that we get all the three points from the barracks.”
