Buhimba United Saints Vs Kiyinda Boys:

Second placed Buhimba United Saints (also on 49 points) visit Kiyinda Boys at the Barthelam city sports ground in Kiwenda.

Buhimba United Saints under Mark Twinamatisko and Paul “Latest” Nkata need only a point from this duel to be assured of qualification.

Kiyinda Boys with head coach Michael Skills Lukyamuzi is safe with 36 points and will merely be playing for pride.

Blacks Power Vs Busoga United

In Lira city, Blacks Power (46 points) will host relegation fighting Busoga United (30 points).

Bob Obira’s Blacks Power needs maximum points to be assured of progress to the Uganda Premier League with Gaddafi failing to win.

Busoga United, under head coach Charles “Mbuzzi” Ayiekho, they require a victory to survive being relegated.

Blacks Power will dearly miss the services of forward Paul Oonyu who was red carded away to Gaddafi in the 34th minute.

Booma Vs Arua Hill:

At the Masindi Municipal Stadium, Arua Hill, currently 14^th with 29 points takes on already relegated Booma at the Masindi municipal stadium.

Booma has conceded 11 goals in the last two games (4-0 against Gaddafi and 7-0 away to Busoga United).

Against Allan Kabonge’s Arua Hill, Booma who have struggled to raise a full team in the previous two games will need a miracle against a club fighting for their lives.
