The 2023/24 StarTimes Uganda Premier League comes to conclusion on Saturday with seven matches on card but attention will be at venues where the trophy could be won.
SC Villa head into the final day as leaders with 54 points and a win will be enough to see them end a 20-year wait for the elusive title.
The Jogoos take on 6th placed NEC, playing in their debut campaign in the premier league but have proved a tough nut to crack especially at the MTN Omondi stadium, Lugogo.
Dusan Stojanovic will hope and pray his key players Kenneth Ssemakula, Ronald Ssekiganda, Umar Lutalo and Patrick Kakande among others show up in lethal form.
But they will have to dig deeper against a NEC side coached by their former striker Hussein Mbalangu who won the title with the club in early 2000s.
Second placed BUL take on local rivals Busoga United in a highly anticipated clash at the Fufa Technical Centre, Njeru.
Abbey Kikomeko’s men, on 53 points must win and hope Villa falters at Lugogo.
However, a draw could also be enough to help them clinch their maiden league title if Villa lose and Vipers don’t pick maximum points at home to Mbarara City.
The two sides are tied on 53 points but BUL have a better head to head record.
The other title contender, Kitara, 51 points, host relegation threatened Gaddafi targeting all points hoping all those above them lose their respective matches.
Elsewhere, KCCA visit Maroons at the Luzira Prisons Grounds, Wakiso Giants host relegation bound UPDF at Kabaka Kyabaggu stadium while URA and Soltilo Bright Stars face off at Mutesa II stadium, Wankulukuku.
