Two newly promoted sides Ndejje University and Paidha Black Angels come face to face on Tuesday in Luweero during their first meeting since being promoted to the Uganda Premier League from the second-tier division.

This will be one of the six games lined up on the rich match day five menu.

Prior to this game, both clubs have won just one game apiece.

Ironically, Ndejje University’s only win (1-0 against Mbarara City) and Paidha Black Angel’s 2-1 victory over Police have both come at their respective homes.

Coming to this particular fixture, both clubs have fetched four points from four games as well.

Paidha Black Angels is 11th and Ndejje University lies 12th on the 16-team log.

Key battles:

Besides the tactical front-line battle between the two head coaches Muhammed Kiseeka (Paidha Black Angels) and Raymond Komakech (Ndejje University), the real fight will be experienced on the well mowed lull of the Arena of Visions turf.

Ndejje University comes to this particular game with an injured face having lost two back to back games against URA and Police; away and home respectively.

Unless otherwise, Komakech will most likely name Derrick Emukule in goal posts ahead of Brady Wokorach.

Skipper Edward Kabona (Captain), Abdallah Mwima, Isa Mubiru and Roland Sseku will be part of the back four defence line.

It will necessitate a dice throw to determine between Erisa Lutaaya and the hard-tackling Bernard Katetemera in the holding midfield role.

Paul Ddumba, Isaac Muyanja, Simon Ngore are some of the offensive midfield options for team Ndejje University as former Vipers’ striker Emmanuel Wasswa, Noel Nasasira, Paul Katongole, Samuel Matovu and Francis Onekalit shall provide the attacking alternatives.

Former Bulemeezi Ssaza and SC Villa goalkeeper John Kalumba will maintain his starting slot in the between the goal posts.

Cheka Sabiri, Sula Sekamwa, Jerry Adebu and Francis “Rasta” Bithum, Brian Okumu and Bernard Agele are being looked at in defence.

Prodigal son Ceaser Olega, Julius Malingumu, Cromwel Rwothomio, Kidega, Mugalu, Jackson Nsubuga, Andrew Kidega as well as the tried and tested Yudah Mugalu are options to break down Ndejje University’s solid defence line.

Maximum points for any of the two clubs will be crucial as far as their respective ambitions for the season are concerned.
