Angello Lonyesi’s Police FC will bank on home advantage as they seek revenge against Big League table leaders NEC FC at Kavumba Recreation grounds on Thursday 16th.
Police FC lost 2-0 to NEC at Bugolobi in the first round courtesy of Julius Magu Kazibwe and captain Marvin Kavuma’s goals.
Lyonesi believes if they use the home advantage so well victory is on their side,
“In case the referees are fair it will be a good game after all they are coming to our home ground.”
“We just have to use our home advantage so well as they did in the first round then victory will be on our side going to level with them.” Lyonesi added
The Cops will be boosted by the return of their captain Joseph Sentume and goalie Davis Mutebi from suspension. The two missed our last outing against Lugazi.
Left winger Male Reagan is still recovering from injury after sitting out for close to two months while Avemah Shafik started a light training after spending the most of the first round on the sidelines.
Police is in the fourth position with 30 points three behind leaders NEC FC.
Incase they maximize points, the Cops will temporarily occupy the second the second position as they wait for Kitara FC and Mbarara City to play on Friday and Saturday respectively.
Victory will help NEC FC to their lead going to 36 points four above second placed Kitara FC.
