Uganda Christian University (UCU) will be keen on making a fast home start when they host Busitema University in the Pepsi University Football League in Mukono on Tuesday.

UCU head coach Mwera Kintu has asserted his side are fully prepared and will not settle for anything other than victory.

"Our aim is, of course, a win, and I know we are well prepared and very ready for the game," Kintu told the press ahead of the showdown.

"The boys are in high spirits, and they know what to do, so we are looking forward to the game,” Kintu added.

In their opening game of the campaign, UCU comfortably dispatched Kumi University 2-0 on enemy territory.

On the other hand, Busitema, who beat Kampala International University 1-0, want to offer stout opposition in Mukono, and head coach Abdulnoor Musisi is pumped up.

“We are in Mukono for a serious mission, and the team is determined to carry the name of the University high by performing well," Musisi told the press.

“All the players we selected for this competition are well prepared and are ready for the challenge.”

“We know UCU is a strong side with good physical condition and good in defence. They are very strong at home."

"By the way, we will not be satisfied with a draw. We are aiming only for victory," concluded Musisi, setting up what promises a pulsating encounter.

UCU occupied the summit with three points but with a better two-goal difference, ahead of runners-up Busitema's one.
