- Express FC Vs UPDF FC, Muteesa II Stadium-Wankulukuku (2:00 pm) Live on FUFA TV
- Gaddafi FC Vs SC Villa, Kakindu Stadium-Jinja (4:00pm) Live on Sanyuka Prime TV
- Onduparaka FC Vs URA FC, Green Light Stadium-Arua (4:00 pm)
Express and URA endured a torrid first half of the season and will hope for better fortunes in the second as they enter the fray on Saturday.
The Red Eagles host UPDF aiming to put a seven game streak without victory in a lunch time kick off.
James Odoch’s men last tasted league glory in November when they were awarded three points and as many goals in the aborted game against Busoga United.
In UPDF, they face a side desperate for points to get them away from the jaws of relegation and this will prove an exciting match up at Wankulukuku.
Like Express, URA hasn’t won in the last seven and visit a hostile Green Light stadium targeting redemption.
Sam Timbe’s men come into the game on the back of a frustrating match that saw them eliminated from the Stanbic Uganda Cup by minnows UPU.
He will hope new signings Alfred Leku, Joshua Lubwama, Bruno Bunyaga, Nicholas Kabonge and Joseph Ssemujju come to the party immediately.
In the other game on the day, sixteen time champions SC Villa will aim to complete a double over Gaddafi.
Villa won the reverse fixture 2-0 at Wankulukuku but will face a sterner test in the East.
