• Kakyeka stadium, Mbarara 4pm

Mbarara City can’t afford to drop points when they host fourth placed BUL at Kakyeka as match day 23 gets underway.

The Ankole Lions are in worrying state at the moment with 12- straight games with win in the league and are second from bottom with 18 points.

Their last game was a goalless draw against champions Express which gives them belief against a different opposition in BUL who are keen on consolidating fourth spot.

The trio of Solomon Okwalinga, Jude Ssemugabi and Henry Kitegenyi must work their socks off for Sadiq Sempigi’s men if they are to avoid defeat against a side that beat them 1-0 in the reverse fixture in Bugembe.

BUL are without Karim Ndugwa who has ably replaced Musa Esenu since the start of the second round.

The last nine meetings point to a close contest with either team managing three wins.
