Neither side will settle for anything less than victory as they fight to secure progress to the knockout stages.

In what promises pulsating action, Kampala International will host Busitema University in Nsambya for their fifth game of the Pepsi University Football League on Sunday.

Neither side will settle for anything less than victory as they fight to secure progress to the knockout stages.

Busitema sit second in Group B with five points while KIU are third with a point less, and with two group games to go, both sides will eye victory.

“We saw the draw between UCU and Kumi, and it has given us a little hope. It means we have something to play for going into the game against KIU,” Busitema head coach AbdulNoor Musisi told the press.

“The goal difference is huge, but it is not impossible. If UCU can score seven goals in one game, then we can also do the same. It’s a very slim chance, almost impossible but one we are going to try and see. That is what makes football special and exciting.

“But first we have to get maximum points against KIU. They are a strong team but we have more to play for than them and so we have to play harder than them,” Musisi summed.

On the other hand, Geoffrey Akabwai feels his side can fight and qualify as one of the best second-placed teams.

“It’s not over yet for us. We need to win our two remaining games and then we wait and see," Akabwai told the press.

"If we don’t win then we don’t stand a chance. But if we win you never know what will happen elsewhere,” he added.

In the same group, Uganda Christian University (UCU) have are in a commanding 11-point lead, while Kumi University are at the base with three points.
