National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Kyetume or Maroons that keep their silverware dream alive.
Kyetume and Maroons should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
Kyetume form and stats
Last season their Uganda Cup adventure ended in the semi-finals.Kyetume have played 12 Premier League games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 6-1-5 (wins-draws-losses). Two home wins in a row for Kyetume bring valid hopes of a third.
In their previous game, led his Kyetume to a defeat in the Premier League match away at Jinja SSS. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here. Ahead of that match, Kyetume won a home game hosting Onduparaka (3-2).
Kyetume has scored 16 league goals at home this season, in 12 matches. 16 goals have been conceded.
Maroons form and stats
Last season their Uganda Cup adventure ended in the 1st round.There's been little loot from Maroons's travels as they have only collected 9 points from 12 away games in the Premier League. Maroons only have 2 wins to counter their 7 defeats and 3 draws. With the Maroons losing streak of five defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking. Bitter travels for Maroons as they have lost four games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Onduparaka match.
The attacking players of Maroons have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 294 minutes.
Home advantage was not enough for Maroons in their previous game, as they lost their Premier League-match, hosting Express FC, 0-1. A 0-5 defeat away at Vipers before that.
Maroons have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 12 league away games 13 goals have been scored. The Maroons manager has some worries about the defense as 24 goals have been conceded in these travels.
