- Express vs UPDF – Mutesa II stadium, Wankulukuku
- Kitara vs Wakiso Giants – Masindi Municipal stadium
Kitara have a chance to dislodge BUL from top spot when they host Wakiso Giants on Tuesday at Masindi Municipal stadium.
The Royals head into the game two points behind leaders and victory over the Purple Sharks will see them lead by a point although they would have played one game more than BUL.
BUL are not in action as their round of 19 fixture against SC Villa was postponed.
The hosts are confident after overcoming KCCA in their last outing and will be clear favourites against John Ayala’s men who have struggled this season and are just five points above the drop zone.
Kitara won the reverse fixture 3-1 at Wakiso despite Titus Ssematimba giving the hosts a first half lead.
The Purple Sharks will be without Apollo Kagogwe who is with the national U-20 side in Ethiopia.
At Mutesa II stadium, Wankulukuku, Express host relegation bound UPDF with desperation to return to winning ways.
The Red Eagles are winless since the start of the second round with defeats against Mbarara City and KCCA as well as a draw at Bright Stars.
Currently, they lie 8th with 26 points while the army side are second from bottom with only 10 points.
