- Kitara FC Vs Calvary FC – Royal Park, Butema | 4 pm
- Lugazi FC Vs SC Villa – Lugazi stadium, Najjembe | 4 pm
Kitara FC and SC Villa head into crucial fixtures knowing anything less than victory could push them further out of the title picture as we wrap up Matchday 24.
At Royal Park Butema, Kitara return home under pressure after dropping points against Vipers SC (2) points and KCCA FC (3) points.
Those results have left them eight points behind the leaders, making their clash with bottom side Calvary a must win.
The Royals will look to their attack for answers. George Senkaaba and Patrick Kaddu lead the line, while new signings Muhammad Shaban and Edson Agondeze add fresh options. Against a struggling Calvary side, Kitara are expected to deliver.
But Calvary arrive with belief. A recent win over Buhimba United Saints and a draw with Lugazi have boosted their survival hopes awarded them a bit of momentum.
They will compete, though Kitara remain favourites, having won the reverse fixture 1-0 in Midigo thanks to a Chrispus Asiki goal and Murushid Jjuuko strong performance.
In Najjembe, SC Villa face Lugazi with similar urgency. Wins for Vipers and KCCA mean the Jogoos must respond to keep pace. Villa, on 45 points, are ten behind the leaders and cannot afford to slip.
The last meeting between the two ended goalless despite Villa’s dominance. This time, they will want to be more decisive.
Lugazi, 13th on 20 points, are battling to stay up and are winless in seven matches. That pressure makes them dangerous at home.
Villa could miss Patrick Kakande through injury, but on form players like Najib Yiga, Frank Ssebuufu, Hassan Mubiru and Reagan Mpande provide enough threat going forward.
When Kitara win they will stay third but go five points with in Leaders Vipers and for SC Villa, they will cut the gap to 7.
