In the early kickoff, Busoga United will host SC Villa at the Fufa Technical Centre in Njeru. The Jogoos, currently sitting third on the table with 39 points, are eyeing a chance to narrow the gap between them and the league leaders to just two points. However, they will have to overcome the absence of key players Gavin Kizito and Misi Diego Ssemugera due to suspension. Despite this setback, Villa boasts depth in their squad and remain unbeaten in their last eight league matches, showcasing their formidable form.
On the other hand, Busoga United finds themselves battling to stay afloat in the top tier, currently lying 14th on the table with 17 points. Their recent form has been less than stellar, with just one win in their last ten matches. However, they will be determined to turn the tide and secure a crucial victory against the formidable Villa side.
Later in the evening, all eyes will turn to the MTN Omondi Stadium in Lugogo as table-toppers Kitara face off against NEC in a highly anticipated clash. Kitara, leading the league standings, aim to maintain their winning momentum despite dropping points in their previous fixture. NEC, currently in 5th place with 37 points, are eager to bounce back from a recent defeat and close the gap between them and the league leaders.
A win for Kitara would strengthen their grip on the top spot, while a loss for NEC could deal a significant blow to their title aspirations in their debut season in the top tier.
