Lugazi FC return to Najjembe under pressure as they welcome Entebbe UPPC, with both sides desperate to end a worrying run of poor results in the league.

The hosts find themselves dragged into the relegation conversation after four straight defeats, a slump that has left them clinging just above the drop zone. Their last taste of victory dates back to mid-February, and anything short of three points could deepen their troubles.

Entebbe UPPC arrive in a similar situation, having failed to win in their last four outings. Despite sitting comfortably in fifth place with 36 points, their recent form has stalled momentum, highlighted by a home loss to SC Villa in their previous match.

However, the visitors have been resilient on the road this season, losing just once away from home. A positive result in Najjembe could see them close the gap on the top four and reignite their push up the table.
For Lugazi, the stakes are far higher.

Positioned 12th with only a narrow cushion above the relegation zone, they must capitalize on home advantage to boost their survival hopes.

The reverse fixture adds another layer of intrigue, with Entebbe UPPC having rallied from behind to secure a 2-1 victory, courtesy of late strikes that overturned Lugazi’s early lead.
