The FUFA Big league returns with six games on Tuesday.
Four of these fall under the Rwenzori Group and two under Elgon.
Charles Ayiekho’s Nyamityobora F.C faces Kireka in Mbarara, a match from which he targets maximum points to play catch up to leaders, Masavu.
In Elvis Zlatan Kiberu, scorer of the lone strike at Baza Holdings last week, Nyamityobora has a potent weapon on the striking line alongside Yusuf Abato and the robust Faizo Muwawu.
Ayiekho is optimistic that his charges will work for the desired result before the home fans.
We are not under any sort of pressure. Nyamityobora is ready to play for the maximum points.
We are targeting qualifying directly as the group leaders because play-offs can be tricky sometimes.
Another club playing catch up to the leading pack in the Rwenzori group is Synergy.
After the heart breaking 1-0 loss away to Kataka in Bufumbo village, Mbale, the Masaka side is now concentrating on the league.
Synergy hosts Hoima’s Boma Young at the fast fading Masaka Recreational stadium in the heart of Masaka town.
Water will entertain Airtel Kitara at the Kyambogo West Play ground after a switch from the Kibuli S.S play ground.
Entebbe Football Club, whose last match (in Mbale against Kataka) was abandoned plays host to Baza Holdings at the Fisheries Training Institute playground in Bugonga, Entebbe Division A.
There are two games in the Elgon group. Artland Katale hosts West Nile side, Paidha Black Angels in Kamuli.
Meanwhile, Lira town will be the host venue of the other Elgon group affair when Bright Light entertains newly promoted Kira United at the Lira Town College playground.
Three clubs shall be promoted to the Uganda Premier League next season.
Two qualify directly (each that tops the Rwenzori and Elgon groups) and the third one is determined via a promotional playoff.
