History favors the home side, however, KCCA will need more clinical finishing from their forwards to avoid a repeat of the goalless draw in the reverse fixture.
- Fixture: KCCA FC vs Maroons FC (Match Day 27)

- Venue: MTN Omondi Stadium, Lugogo

KCCA FC returns to the MTN Omondi Stadium this Thursday to host Maroons FC in a Matchday 27 fixture.
With the season winding down, the Cityzens are looking to capitalize on their home advantage and get back to winning ways.
KCCA FC, currently sitting in 3rd place with 52 points, would leapfrog Kitara FC (54 points) into 2nd place with a win.
For Maroons FC, the mission is about finishing strong. Sitting in 9th place with 34 points, the Prison side is safely away from the relegation scrap but will be eager to break into the top seven.

Both sides enter this contest following hard-fought draws against traditional rivals.
KCCA FC earned a gritty 1-1 draw against Vipers SC in their last outing. While they missed out on three points, they were the better team that day.
Maroons FC showed resilience in a 2-2 draw away to URA FC. Their ability to lead twice in a two-all draw against URA suggests that they won’t feel intimidated by the atmosphere at Lugogo.
History favours the home side; however, KCCA will need more clinical finishing from their forwards to avoid a repeat of the goalless draw in the reverse fixture.
Their last meeting in January ended in a 0-0 stalemate at Luzira Prison, with Maroons frustrating the KCCA frontline.
Maroons have been more adventurous lately, scoring an average of 1.6 goals over their last five games, but will have to withstand the early KCCA pressure.
The visitors have one loss in the last 9 league matches. The loss came at MTN Omondi Stadium in Lugogo against NEC FC in April.

Jackson Magera in training
KCCA FC co-head coach Jackson Kaddu Magera emphasized the need to get back to winning ways ahead of the fixture.
We need to get back to winning ways, but most importantly, play beautiful football. We need to tuck away our chances, and we know there will not be many against a resilient Maroons side. We have worked on our finishing, and hopefully, we can replicate that on the pitch tomorrow.
KCCA FC will be boosted by the return of some players who have been out for a while.
Left back James Mubezi is back in training after missing the past two months due to a fractured hand.
Kennedy Muserero has recovered from illness that kept him out of the previous two league matches.
