Preview and context
The Premier League trip to Kakindu Municipal Stadium in Jinja on 18 December promises a lively clash as Entebbe UPPC host Kitara in Round 11. On paper this looks like a close duel in the middle of the table: Entebbe sit 6th with 17 points from 10 matches, while Kitara occupy 5th with 19 points from nine. Both sides arrive in reasonable form, but the fine print in the numbers tilts the expectation toward an away success. Entebbe’s recent 2-0 triumph over Express FC last weekend was a statement at home, yet Kitara answered with their own convincing 2-0 win over Maroons the following day — momentum matters, and Kitara have won more often and more consistently across the last weeks.
How the teams match up
Statistically the contrast is stark. Kitara are the more forceful outfit in attacking metrics: their shots and attacking volume tower over Entebbe’s, with an average of 11 shots per match and an attacks average of 79.33 compared to Entebbe’s 2.1 shots and 17.1 attacks average. Kitara also boast 4 clean sheets this campaign and have conceded just six goals in total, reflecting a compact defensive shape on top of their offensive drive. Entebbe have shown resilience — five wins and three losses from ten — and have produced moments of goal threat, but their home scoring numbers (five goals at home) are modest and they create far fewer dangerous attacks than their visitors.
H2 trends point to a low-to-moderate scoring affair. Both teams display relatively low over-2.5 percentages (Entebbe 20%, Kitara 33.3%) and BTTS figures that suggest matches often stay tight. Recent scorelines back that up: Kitara’s last five results include several 1-0 and 2-0 outcomes, while Entebbe have alternated wins and defeats with an occasional higher-scoring fixture. The stadium in Jinja, with its intimate 1,000-seat capacity, rarely produces runaway scorelines; the playing surface and local conditions often tighten matches into tactical battles.
What this means for bettors
Given Kitara’s superior form, higher points-per-game, and overwhelming attacking activity in the aggregate metrics, they arrive as the more reliable pick to take three points. Their consistency away from home — recent narrow wins and disciplined defending — suggests they can grind out a result in Jinja even if the game is cagey.

Betting suggestion: Back Kitara to win (1X2). This pick leans on Kitara’s superior form, higher points tally, and dominant attacking and chance-creation metrics; if you prefer the goal market, consider Under 2.5 goals as a conservative alternative given the low over-2.5 percentages for both teams. Bet responsibly and factor in bankroll management before staking.
