Mbarara City vs Maroons – Kakyeka Stadium, 4 PM
URA vs NEC – Hamza Stadium, Nakivubo, 7 PM
NEC will look to solidify their place at the top of the league with a crucial clash against URA at Nakivubo. Sitting on 22 points, Hussein Mbalangu’s team has a chance to extend their lead to four points ahead of Vipers, who will only return to action on Saturday against Bright Stars.
Their last visit to Nakivubo didn’t go as planned, ending in a 2-1 loss to Express. However, they will be hoping for a turnaround against a struggling URA side that has only managed a single home victory this season.
For URA, led by Alex Isabirye, the stakes are equally high. A win would not only boost their 14-point tally but also push them into serious title contention.
Earlier in the day, Mbarara City will host Maroons at Kakyeka. The visitors are on a three-game unbeaten run and will be eager to keep that momentum going. Maroons, currently in 10th place with 13 points, are just a point ahead of 11th-placed Mbarara City, making this a tightly contested fixture.
Both teams will be aiming for maximum points to climb up the mid-table standings.
