With FUFA Women Super League match day 13 climaxing on Sunday, Uganda Martyrs Lubaga WFC will be visiting relegation-threatened Asubo Ladies FC in Kawanda.
Currently at the bottom of the table with 10 points, Asubo desperately need a win to climb out of the relegation zone. The Kawanda based side lost 3-2 against Wakiso Hill WFC in their last game.
On the other hand, Uganda Martyrs come into the game aiming for their second consecutive league victory after edging out Lady Doves 2-1 last time out.
A win for the Lubaga based side, currently in fourth place, would enable them to keep the pace with third placed She Maroons who won their game on Saturday.
History Promises Goals
This encounter marks the fourth meeting between the two sides in the league, with a balanced record: one win each and a previous 2-2 draw. Interestingly, that draw saw Asubo surrender a two-goal lead after a red card.
The rivalry between these teams has seen a high number of goals. A whopping 15 goals have been scored in their last three meetings, suggesting another entertaining encounter is likely.
Key Players in Focus
Asubo’s hopes lie heavily on the shoulders of their top scorer, Kamiyat Naigaga, who has netted five goals this season and will be looking to add to her tally.
Uganda Martyrs will counter with their captain, Latifah Nakasi, who boasts a remarkable record against Asubo, having scored three goals and registered two assists in their last three meetings.
Team News and Probabable Lineups
Uganda Martyrs will be without key striker Brenda Munyana who serves the final match of her suspension. Defender Shakirah Nagudi misses the game due to an injury, while the participation of Maureen Kizza and Rebecca Nandegho remains uncertain.
In sharp contrast, Asubo Ladies FC have a clean bill of health and a full squad to choose from.
Asubo Ladies FC: Olga Lukia (GK), Bridget Nabyaza, Alima Nambafu, Kamiyat Naigaga, Sarah Nakuya, Miriam Nakayiwa, Sarah Babirye, Esther Namataka, Christine Namataka, Zainah Namboozo, Aziza Amoding.
Uganda Martyrs: Sharon Kaidu (GK), Jackie Namabasa, Auki Kigongo, Gloria Namugerwa, Stella Namisango, Kevin Nakacwa, Viola Namuddu, Shamusa Najjuma, Sharon Kanyiginya, Moureen Kizza, Latifah Nakasi.
