"They are not used to playing on grass (natural grass) field (pitch), and as soon as we go through, please be assured Police have taken the trophy."
Police Football Club are aiming at making the final of the 2022/23 Stanbic Uganda Cup for the first time since the 2002/03 campaign.
They hold a slim first leg semi-final advantage having beaten Adjumani Town Council FC 1-0 over a week ago at the Kavumba Recreation Grounds.
With the second leg slated for Friday in Adjumani, the final is in sight for Police FC, who will meet either Vipers SC or Soltilo Bright Stars, should they advance.
Vipers, holds a huge 4-0 advantage over the Stars, and are all but sure of playing in the final slated for the Akii-Bua Memorial Stadium in Lira.
And, Police head coach Angelo Lonyesi is certain his team will be crowned champions should they get past Adjumani TC.
"If we win or draw tomorrow, we shall qualify for the final and let me assure you, the moment we reach the final we shall have the advantage," he told the press on Thursday ahead of the showdown.
"We shall be on a neutral ground and I'm sure Vipers are already through, they are used to playing on the carpet (artificial turf)," he added with a filled confidence.
"They are not used to playing on grass (natural grass) field (pitch), and as soon as we go through, please be assured Police have taken the trophy."
"Our stumbling block is only Adjumani tomorrow," Lonyesi added in assertion.
Police is in search of their maiden Uganda Cup, having the final twice in 2002/03 and 2000 when they lost 3-1 and 1-0 to Express FC and SC Villa, respectively.
