KCCA FC want to complete their fourth ever double over Soltilo Bright Stars when both sides meet in the only UPL game scheduled for Thursday at Lugogo.
KCCA won the first leg 2-1 at Kavumba thanks to goals from Brian Aheebwa and Sam Ssenyonjo while Joseph Akandwanaho scored a late consolation for the Baker Mbowa coached side.
KCCA, 4th with 37 points, want to keep up with the top three and a win for them will reduce the gap from the leaders from 10 to seven points.
The 13-time league winners are fresh from a hard-drilled 1-0 win over Onduparaka in Arua whereas Soltilo Bright Stars drew goalless with URA in their most recent outing.
