Bright Stars’ Uganda Premier League survival hopes are hanging by a thread as they welcome Express FC to Kavumba in what could be a make-or-break clash.
With just 16 points from 25 games and seven points separating them from safety, Ian Mutenda’s side is running out of time and chances.
Their poor home form, just 11 points from a possible 36 at Kavumba, underscores the mountain they must climb. Despite flashes of fight, like taking the lead in their recent 3-1 loss, defensive lapses and a lack of cutting edge have plagued them all season.
Express FC, while not in the title race or relegation scrap, could play spoilers. Bright Stars must approach this with urgency and resilience. A loss, especially if Mbarara City beat NEC, would mathematically relegate them to the FUFA Big League.
It’s now or never for Bright Stars. A win keeps hope alive. Anything less, and their fate may be sealed.
