They are a good side with a good playing style and decent squad but we have tried to do some research on them and we need all the points to be competitive again so we will try all we can to win. We did not play the two fixtures with them last season, but a lot of things have changed since last campaign and we are ready to get the win.
The Premier League winner added the unavailability of some players should not be a major factor to worry them as those who will be given starting positions ought to rise to the occasion.

However, four minutes later, URA should have made it 2-1 but Ivan Sserubiri missed from the penalty spot after his taken strike hissed over the bar.
But they did not have to wait long as they took the lead in the 36th minute after Shafik Kagimu met a cross from Joackiam Ojera to beat keeper Charles Luwango and make it 2-1, with the scoreline remaining the same at the half-time-break.
Ahead of the match, Mutebi had warned his charges to expect a tough challenge from URA, insisting they are a very difficult side to break down.
And despite welcoming to the squad youngsters Bright Anukani, Sadat Anaku, and Steven Sserwadda, KCCA never looked threatening from the onset and it was URA who dictated the pace despite playing away from home.
