Already relegated, Bright Stars will be playing for pride as they host NEC FC at Kavumba Recreation Centre, aiming to snap a five-game winless streak in the league. Ian Mutanda’s side, demoted for the first time in 12 years, will be eager to end the season on a positive note.
For NEC FC, the match holds more weight. Though seven points behind the league leaders, their title ambitions remain mathematically possible, and they’ll be pushing to keep the pressure on until the end.
Coach Hussein Mbalangu’s men will also be hunting a league double over Bright Stars, having claimed a narrow 1-0 win in the reverse fixture earlier this season.
