Match details and kick-off clarification
| Detail | Information |
| Fixture | URA FC vs KCCA FC |
| Competition | 2026/27 Uganda Premier League |
| Matchday | Five |
| Date | Friday, 9 October 2026 |
| Venue | Hamz Stadium, Nakivubo |
| Kick-off | 8:00 p.m. |
Current league position
KCCA have one win, one draw and two defeats, scoring once and conceding four. URA have one win and two losses, scoring three and conceding six.
Victory could quickly improve either position; defeat would increase the pressure as the leaders accumulate points.
URA FC form and team outlook
URA opened with a promising 2-1 away victory over Maroons, suggesting the Tax Collectors could adapt quickly under Kintu Mwera.
Their next two matches exposed problems. SC Villa won 1-0 at Hamz Stadium before NEC completed a 4-1 comeback at Lugogo. Isma Mugulusi scored early, but URA conceded three times before half-time.
URA must become harder to play through after losing possession. Goalkeeper Crispus Kusiima and defenders, including James Begisa and Dissan Galiwango, require greater coordination.
Mugulusi, Moses Waiswa and Nelson Ssenkatuka offer experience. Former KCCA attacker Alex Yiga adds pace and an obvious storyline if selected.
KCCA FC form and team outlook
KCCA began with 2-0 defeats against NEC and Express. A goalless draw at Kigezi Homeboyz produced their first point but extended a worrying scoreless start.
Emmanuel Anyama ended the drought against Kataka. Sammy Ssebaduka supplied the low cross for KCCA’s first league victory.
One goal in four matches remains poor for a club with title ambitions. KCCA needs faster combinations and more runners without weakening their defensive balance.
Captain Herbert Achayi has returned from Uganda Cranes duty. Anyama and Ssebaduka carry momentum, while returning striker Ivan Ahimbisibwe could strengthen the attack if selected.
URA vs KCCA head-to-head record
The last meeting ended goalless in May 2026. Across six recent league meetings, KCCA have three wins, URA two, and one ended level.
| Date | Fixture | Result |
| 19 May 2026 | URA vs KCCA | 0–0 |
| 21 November 2025 | KCCA vs URA | 2–1 |
| 16 April 2025 | URA vs KCCA | 1–0 |

The designated host won four of those meetings, although Hamz Stadium is familiar to both clubs.
Team news and predicted approach
Neither club had published a final squad at publication time. Confirmed line-ups should appear approximately one hour before kick-off.
URA may transition through Mugulusi, Waiswa and Yiga while Ssenkatuka occupies KCCA’s defenders. KCCA can build through Achayi before releasing Ssebaduka wide.
The first goal could determine the contest. KCCA’s defensive stability encourages patience, while URA must avoid becoming stretched when chasing possession.
URA FC vs KCCA FC prediction
URA possess more attacking variety but have conceded heavily, while KCCA have defended better without scoring freely.
The May meeting finished 0-0. KCCA’s confidence from beating Kataka could help, but a draw remains the balanced call.
| Market | Prediction |
| Full-time result | Draw |
| Correct-score lean | URA 1–1 KCCA |
| Total goals | Under 2.5 goals |
| Double chance | KCCA or draw |
These are possibilities, not guarantees. Team selections, errors, or an early card can change the contest.
