The first round shock defeat to Miracle Eagles is still fresh in Kyambogo Warriors’ players and revenge will be top on the agenda when the two sides clash at Lugogo tonight.

Miracle were the only side to beat runaway table leaders in their season-opening game but have since failed to maintain that form. Despite being top of the MTN-Fuba League men’s topflight table, Warriors’ recent form is not convincing.

Losing finalists last year, Warriors lost to KIU three weeks ago and struggled to defeat bottom-placed Crane High School.
There can never be a better time for Miracle to tackle the Kyambogo side in one of the mouth-watering clashes tonight. Nkumba Marines entertain Uganda Christian University (UCU) Canons.
