Wakiso Giants kick-off the second round of the Startimes Uganda Premier League with a date against SC Villa at Kabaka kyabaggu Stadium on Tuesday.
A 6-1 heavy defeat to the blues way back in November, the purple sharks look forward to avenge for the humiliation in front of the home crowd.
Brace hero Charles Lwanga, David Owori, Reagan Mpadde, Patrick Kakande, and winger Hakim Kiwanuka who since then left for APR FC in Rwanda were on target while Marvin Oshaba netted the consolation for Wakiso in Wankulukuku.
Flashes of re-surgence in their performance towards the end of the first round, trainer Steven Bengo believes his boys are ready to match the visitors.
“We’re facing a team that heavily defeated us in the first leg, but a lot has changed since then. We’ve prepared the team to win, and in the second round, we’ll approach each game with a winning mentality. The boys are focused on securing all three points,” said Coach Bengo
The gaffer in the dough-out at Wakiso also stressed on the new recruits brought in by the club during the January window and what they can add to the cohort.
“We didn’t make panic signings; we knew exactly the type of players we wanted, and we brought them in. The addition of Moses Oloya will significantly impact the team, as he brings talent, discipline, and valuable experience to the table. The combination of all these factors will undoubtedly benefit the team,” Coach Bengo concluded
Wakiso Giants managed to purchase Moses Oloya, defender Godfrey Omoki, and striker Fazil Tumwine on loan from Vipers SC.
Languishing in the red zone, the hosts will be determined to pick maximum points against a side that didn’t register any win on the road during the first half of the season.
