Following a 4-1 defeat to table leaders Vipers, Police return to action with a short trip to Hamz stadium, Nakivubo to face URA on Saturday as the first round concludes.
The Cops, now nine points behind leaders Vipers must win to keep title hopes alive.
In URA, they face an equally desperate side who want to end a winless streak.
The tax men have gone six matches without a win losing five in a row until a draw with Calvary in their last game.
Matia Lule will hope his forwards Bedia Ikamba, Brian James Obedi, Umar Kasumba and Charles Bbale are in fine form on the day.
For URA, Nelson Ssenkatuka, Fred Amaku and company must be at their best if they are to hand Hussein Mbalangu his first win in the dugout after a difficult start.
On 12 points in 14th place, URA are just one point off the red zone.
Key Stat:
- Since 2013, the two sides have met 22 times with URA edging the contest with 12 wins. [L4, D6]
