While KCCA FC are on a stroll, they won't expect an easy walk against Gaddafi FC in the Uganda Premier League at the latter's Arena later on Friday.
KCCA, who have long ceased from the title talk, will be playing for pride, while Gaddafi will be competing for survival.
The Kasasiro Boys, who have won four league games on the bounce, are seventh with 32 points, while their hosts are 14th on the 16-team table with 18 points.
“Its the final bend of the season, different teams are fighting for different objectives," KCCA head coach Abdallah Mubiru told the press ahead of the game.
"For instance, against Gaddafi, it's going to be a very complicated game as compared to the one we played in the first round."
KCCA thrashed them 6-1 in the first round, courtesy of braces from Usama Arafat and Muhammad Shaban with Ettiene Katenga and Dominic Ayella netting the others.
