Ahimbisibwe has been in clinical form, scoring five goals in the last five games. His ability to find space in the box will be the primary threat to a Lugazi defense that has conceded 27 goals so far this campaign, one of the highest in the division.

KCCA FC continues the hunt for the StarTimes Uganda Premier League top honours as they travel to Lugazi FC Stadium this Saturday.
Coming off a dominant 3-0 win over Express FC earlier this week, the Cityzens are in high spirits and eager to keep the pressure on league leaders.
With just a few points separating the top three, every match is a “final” for the Cityzens.
The hosts, Lugazi FC, find themselves at the other end of the table and will be desperate to use their home advantage to pull away from the relegation dogfight.
Historically, the Cityzens have enjoyed the upper hand in this fixture. In the reverse fixture earlier this season at Lugogo, both sides played out a goalless draw, but memories of last season’s 5-0 thumping of the same opponent remain fresh.
KCCA FC is currently 3rd on the table with 42 points from 20 games, while hosts Lugazi FC are 12th with 18 points from the same number of games.
Hosts Lugazi FC have one win in the last six league matches. They have scored 2 goals and conceded 8 in the last six league matches.
They have also gone three league matches without a win and without a goal scored.
KCCA FC co-head coaches Jackson Magera Kaddu and Brian Ssenyondo.
KCCA FC’s co-head coach Jackson Magera Kaddu had this to say ahead of the trip to Lugazi.
Lugazi is a different side when playing at home, but our focus is on maintaining the intensity we showed against Express. We are in the business end of the season, and we cannot afford to drop points if we are to continue the hunt for top honours.
