Vipers SC and BUL FC, the two in-form teams of the second round, face tough away fixtures as they seek to extend their perfect runs.
League leaders Vipers SC, currently sitting at 49 points, head to SC Villa in what promises to be a thrilling contest.
The Venoms are eager to restore their five-point cushion at the top after NEC’s midweek win over Express trimmed their lead to just two.
However, they will have to do it without Karim Watambala, whose suspension leaves a gap in midfield. The creative burden now falls on Allan Okello, Yunus Sentamu and company to break through Villa’s disciplined defense led by Ronald Ssekiganda with Patrick Kakande and Charles Lwanga spearheading the hosts’ attack.
SC Villa, currently 9th with 27 points, will be desperate to bounce back after a home defeat in their last outing.
A loss against Vipers would mark consecutive home failures for Morley Byekwaso’s side, something they cannot afford in their bid to climb the table.
Meanwhile, at Kakyeeka Stadium, BUL FC will be aiming to continue their flawless second-round streak against Mbarara City.
Sitting third with 35 points, BUL are full of confidence, but Livingstone Mbabazi’s Mbarara City are fighting for survival. The Ankole Lions, just eight points clear of the drop zone with 22 points, will be motivated to build on their recent draw against Kitara and derail BUL’s charge.
Elsewhere, URA FC welcome relegation candidates Mbale Heroes under the floodlights at Nakivubo Stadium. The Tax Collectors are looking to recover from their Uganda Cup heartbreak at the hands of Kataka, while bottom-placed Mbale Heroes are desperate for points in their relegation fight.
